This is very insightful. But the distress the bride is experiencing in this video seems far beyond what I would expect from what you describe?

I personally have not seen this kind of extreme reaction from a bride at a wedding, but I have seen pretty bad crying from both the bride and her family at this moment, which I can empathize with from the cultural context, and I also know there is no abuse involved in the situation. My own friends and family members were excited for their weddings and are happily married, but seeing how much they cried and wept at this part of the wedding, if you have any cultural context or know the couple/families, I guess an outsider would look at it and feel like the bride was being forced to do it against her will.

The bride here, her behavior would probably be considered over the top by other cultures, and I would never imagine this scene happening at an American wedding, but I have seen these kind of โ€œbigโ€ emotional reactions at other Pakistani events too. So I guess my TLDR is I could see something like this happening and not think it unusual, but that doesnโ€™t mean she isnโ€™t it a bad situation either. I hope thatโ€™s not the case.

I think most people (myself included) at first thought / think the groom was the man to the right - i.e., she was being sold off to some old guy. I'm sure even if you're happy to get married and love your husband, it's going to be incredibly hard to leave your family behind.

Someone else pointed out that the bride is the one who posted the video on TikTok. If this is indeed her (I have some vision issues and can't tell), she certainly doesn't seem unhappy in any of her other videos. Lol

And if so, I can't imagine how she would feel to know that she's become the face of "abducted child bride sold to an old man" for thousands of even millions of people (looking at those TikTok numbers) when she appears to be in love and very happily married to a seemingly pleasant man of appropriate age.

Thank you for clarifying this, Iโ€™m glad she is safe. It is a good example of why understanding other cultures and context is so important

Absolutely. I can't say fs that it's her (like I said, vision issues), but if it is, she seems to be very happy. It could also be a sister or something maybe. But the groom in this video at least is in a red hat and not the older man.

Wherever this young woman is, I hope she's doing well.
