Dulhan Bazaar: You must have seen vegetable market, animal market and maybe even flower market in your life. But have you ever seen a girls' market? Especially in today's time when such things are considered not only a crime but also against humanity in the society. Let's know what is the whole story of this market.
Where is this market?
This market of girls is located in Stara Zagore, Bulgaria. According to the report of NDTV, this market is held four times a year. Here parents come with their daughters aged 16 to 25 years, who are dressed like brides. This market held in the early morning has become a topic of discussion all over the world.
Are girls really bought?
Actually, in this market, grooms also come with their parents to choose the girls who come as brides. When a groom likes a girl, he has to pay money to her parents to marry her. Along with this, if a girl is liked by many boys, then bidding is done for her, the girl's family marries the girl to the boy who gives more money. However, sometimes the girl's choice is also included in this. That is, if the girl likes any of those boys, then the girl marries him.
According to the news, in this market, bidding is done according to the beauty and age of the girl. If a girl is very beautiful and her age is around 16 to 20 years, then her bid can be more than 10 lakh rupees. Sometimes this bid even reaches 20 lakh rupees. Usually in this market you will get a bride for around 6 lakh rupees.
This tradition has been going on for centuries
Now the question arises that when did the girls' market start? According to reports, this tradition is not of today, but centuries old. This bride market is very special for the Clydeji community. They believe that their ancestors started it for their welfare. However, today very few families participate in this market. Educated families no longer follow this tradition, but marry their daughters to boys of their choice.
