If you are asked what you can get in the market, then your answer can be vegetables, clothes, cars etc. But have you ever heard of a bride market? Maybe you have not heard or you might be surprised after reading this that does it really happen? There are grain markets, vegetable markets, but where can a bride market be set up? In such a situation, let us tell you that this is absolutely true, from China to Bulgaria, such markets are set up, where people go to buy a bride for themselves. But Bulgaria’s bride market is famous all over the world. Here people roam around and look for a wife of their choice.
There is a place named Stara Jagor in Bulgaria, where a bride market is held. This place is also known as Gypsy Bride Market. A man comes to this place with his family and chooses a girl of his choice. Girls also apply makeup, put kajal and wear shiny jewellery, high heels and mini skirts to attract men. After this, the girl that the boy likes is negotiated. When the girl’s family is satisfied with the price being paid, they hand over their daughter to the boy for that price. The boy brings the girl home and gives her the status of his wife.
This market is organized by the people of Kalaidzhis community, in which poor people of the community come to sell their daughters. Usually, a lot of money is spent on weddings. Families who are unable to get their daughters married, take their daughters to this market. After this, the boy’s family comes for their daughter-in-law and chooses the girl of their choice. They buy the bride for themselves by paying the amount according to the girl’s family. This tradition has been going on in Bulgaria for years. The government also does not give permission to set up this market, but despite this, people do not listen. This tradition has been going on for centuries.
This is how the price of girls is decided!
In Bulgaria, the price of girls in the bride market is decided on different parameters. The price of a girl who is virgin is the highest. On the other hand, divorced or non-virgin women are sold at a lower price. The girls of this community are not allowed to meet any man. If they want to meet a man, then the consent of his family is necessary. Not only this, the women of the community are also not allowed to date. Let us tell you that this market has some principles, like only the people of the Kaladji community sell their daughters and only the people of this community can buy them. Also, it is necessary for the girl’s family to be poor. Financially strong families cannot sell their daughter. At the same time, it is also necessary to give the status of daughter-in-law to the purchased girl.
