A “Borat”-style bride kidnapping was caught on tape in his home country of Kazakhstan — where taking a woman to be your lawfully wedded hostage is a very real and widely accepted custom.

Disturbing video footage titled “Stealing the Bride” shows a girl in the central Akmola region screaming and crying as she is dragged to the home of her future husband, Central European News reports.

The scene has all the makings of a traditional marriage ceremony — Kazakh music, a special bridal carpet and loads of confetti being thrown in celebration.

But instead of a blushing bride-to-be enjoying her big day, the shocking video shows a frightened girl being seized from her home and forced into marrying someone against her will.

Forcibly seizing a woman and marrying her is very common in Kazakhstan, according to CEN.

The shocking deed was jokingly made famous by Sacha Baron Cohen in his 2006 hit, “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.” In the movie, Borat kidnaps Pamela Anderson because he wants to marry her — a scene which is meant to be ridiculous and funny, but is also very accurate and startling.

In reality, an anxious groom will pay relatives and friends to use deception, cohesion or force to physically take a girl and bring her to his home.

Once she arrives, the girls in his family will dress the kidnapped bride in a special neckerchief called an Oramal — something Kazakh women must accept to show their “consent” to marriage.

The process of accepting this garment can often take days of being locked up, but money almost always plays a role in saying yes.

“Often the families of the victims agree because the groom pays them a lot of money,” said local women’s rights activist Anfisa Zuyeva. “But it is an outdated and horrific tradition which has no place in modern Kazakhstan.

“No wonder people think we’re backward and barbaric,” she added.

Due to the latest video going viral and the fact that over 60 percent of adults and 74 percent of teenagers had either been victims or knew people who were, authorities are now looking to make bride-kidnapping illegal in the country.
