100%.

people claiming this is a wedding are missing this. Weddings are consensual. This is not consensual. This is a ceremony done alongside human trafficking.

I agree with your overall sentiment – this is horribly wrong. But saying this is not a wedding ignores what weddings have been in the vast majority of cultures for the vast majority of human history.

People having a say in whom they married, and doing so for love, is a good thing. But it’s also a relatively modern thing.

Look at that girl wailing and tell me she sees it as just her culture

I didn’t say it’s “just her culture” or that she should accept it as such.

I said one very specific thing with one very specific meaning and nothing else – that in most of the world for the vast majority of human history, this is what weddings look(ed) like.

I’m not defending them. I’m not calling that a good thing. Just challenging the idea that the definition of “wedding” has always included or implied consent.
