In northern Viet Nam, deep in the majestic Hoang Lien Mountains, scattered ancient villages, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, time seems to stand still in the past, and traditional customs are like streams flowing in the mountains, passed down from generation to generation, but under this seemingly calm appearance, there is a shocking reality: a 14-year-old flower girl may be forcibly taken away and become someone else's wife without preparation

Xiaoqi, a lively and cheerful Hmong girl, lives in such a village, she has clear and bright eyes, and her smile is as bright as the sun, three years ago, she was a carefree child, playing simple games with her friends, looking forward to a better future, all of which came to an abrupt end when she was 14 years old

It was a seemingly ordinary night, Xiaoqi was playing at home as usual, suddenly, a group of strange men broke into the house and forcibly took her away without saying anything, Xiaoqi was terrified, struggled desperately, and shouted for help, but everything was to no avail, although her parents were heartbroken, they could only watch their daughter being taken away, and they could not do anything

This is the ancient and cruel custom of the Hmong people - marriage robbery

For many, "marriage robbery" may be a distant and unfamiliar word, but in some ethnic minority areas of northern Viet Nam, it is a real and deep-rooted tradition

The Hmong people are a people with a long history, they have lived in the mountains for generations, living a self-sufficient life, due to the remoteness, inconvenient transportation, and information blockage, the cultural customs of the Hmong people are rarely influenced by the outside world, and many ancient traditions have been preserved, such as marriage robbery

In the traditional concept of the Hmong people, marriage is not a union of two people, but the marriage of two families, free love is considered to be disrespectful to the elders of the family, the order of parents and the words of matchmaking are the right way to marriage, and marriage robbery is regarded as an ancient and sacred ritual, symbolizing the bravery and strength of men, as well as possessiveness of women

The object of the marriage robbery is usually those young girls who are not yet married, usually between the ages of 13 and 18, once the man has his eye on a girl, he will inform the family and choose a suitable opportunity to forcibly bring the girl home, even if the girl's family is unwilling, can only accept the reality and arrange the wedding as soon as possible

In the past, due to the lack of information and inconvenient transportation, it was often difficult for the girls who were snatched away to escape, and they could only be forced to accept the arrangement of fate

Some educated young people began to realize that marriage snatching is a barbaric and backward custom and a violation of women's human rights, and they bravely stood up against arranged marriages and advocated free love, hoping to change this unreasonable tradition

Change does not happen overnight, in some remote mountainous areas, the phenomenon of marriage snatching still exists, and many girls still live in the shadow of fear, they yearn for love, they long for freedom, but they are powerless to change their fate
The picture comes from the Internet
In Viet Nam, many girls become victims of marriage robbery every year, they are forced to give up their studies, give up their dreams, and take on the burden of the family early
In order to rescue these girls, the Viet Nam government and all sectors of society have been working hard to formulate laws and regulations to crack down on marriage robbery; They went into the mountainous areas to carry out legal popularization and raise people's awareness of the law; They set up shelters to provide assistance and protection to battered girls
It is not an overnight task to completely eradicate the bad habit of marriage snatching, which requires the joint efforts of all sectors of society, and it is even more necessary to change the deep-rooted traditional concepts
Education is the key to changing destiny, but also a weapon to eliminate bad habits, only let more children receive education, broaden their horizons, in order to make them understand that everyone has the right to choose their own life, women are not men's accessories, they should have equal opportunities and freedom
In addition to education, economic development is also crucial, poverty is the root of many social problems, but also one of the important reasons why it is difficult to eradicate the bad habit of marriage robbery, in some poor areas, girls are regarded as a burden on the family, early marriage and childbirth have become the choice of many families, only the development of the economy, improve people's living standards, in order to fundamentally solve the problem
Cultural exchange and integration is also an important way to eliminate misunderstandings and promote understanding, many people adhere to the tradition of marriage robbery, because they do not understand the outside world, do not understand other cultures, only to strengthen cultural exchanges, enhance mutual understanding, in order to eliminate estrangement, resolve contradictions, and create a better future together
Xiaoqi's story is just a microcosm, it reflects a social problem, a challenge of the times, we have the responsibility and obligation to light a lamp of hope for those girls living in the shadows, so that they can freely chase their dreams and embrace their own happy life
It's not just for them, it's for ourselves, for a more equal and better future
