You have seen vegetable market, animal market and maybe flower market in your life. But have you ever seen a market of girls. Especially in today’s time when such things are not only considered a crime in the society, but they are also against humanity. Let’s know what is the whole story of this market.
Where is this market?
This market of girls is held in Stara Jagor, Bulgaria. According to the report of NDTV, this market is held four times a year. Here parents come with their daughters aged between 16 to 25 years, who are dressed like brides. This market, which is held from morning, is a topic of discussion all over the world.
Are girls really bought?
Actually, the grooms also come to this market to like the girls who come as brides with their parents. When a groom likes a girl, he has to pay money to her parents to marry her. On the other hand, if a girl is liked by many boys, then bidding is done for her, the girl’s family gets her married to the boy who pays more money. However, sometimes the girl’s choice is also involved in this. That is, if the girl likes one boy among all those boys, then the girl marries him.
