Berdel (Sister Swapping) in Turkey

In the southeastern turkey, men have to pay dowry ($25k in this news)to get married. if he can't afford that, he gives his sister to other family so that bride's brother will get married to groom's sister in return. of course, noone asks girls'(wrapped/packaged with brown veil in the video) idea if they are willingly to get married those men they have never seen before; they just have to carry out what is told for them.

during swapping process, girls are brought to the two end of a bridge by their families. after that, girls start walking across the bridge - passing by each others. having passed the bridge, girls are immediately pinned into the cars to be taken to groom's houses.

another important point in the news is the abundancy of the guns(shotguns, kalashnikov etc.)

unfortunately this tradition is so common, especially in the southeastern district of turkey, that many girls(most of whom have to get married at the age of 15) prefer commit suiciding instead of getting married to a stranger. in the event that one of the groom's divorces from his wife, other groom will have to divorce from his wife as well.

for the similar big problem of turkey watch my other video (in english) about honour killings:

This is a Kurdish tradition. I'm half Kurdish and I know people who married this way. The most girls don't want it, but unfortunately the most Kurds in Southeastern Turkey aren't modern like Turks, so the Kurds don't care about what those girls want.

South Eastern Turkey is Kurdish.
