According to Yahoo, a 17-year-old girl was forced to marry a married man who was at least 30 years older than her in “the wedding of the millennium.” The incident has since raised legal and ethical issues in Russia and its republic Chechnya. Luiza Goilabiyeva, called Kheda, 17, got married on Saturday to Chechen police officer Nazhud Guchigov, 47 is already married, and has children who are even older than his new bride.
But, the teenager appeared so sad and downtrodden at the ceremony, as she stands feet away from her husband-to-be at the registry office in Grozny, making this the first photo of an extremely sad-looking bride we’ve seen. Wedding days are typically moments of joy and celebration, but the photos of this young bride, clearly shows the opposite.
A Russian investigative paper Novaya Gazeta reported that Goilabiyeva was being forced to marry the local official, who reportedly threatened her parents, demanding that he marry her on the day of her 17th birthday, May 1, and even warned that he would kidnap Goilabiyeva, if she does not comply with the marriage agree.
“He is married and has children. She’s younger than his children. The Chechen woman is powerless; she can expect help from nowhere,” one of Goilabiyeva’s girlfriends posted, according to The Daily Beast. “Kheda told him that she has a boyfriend, but it was disregarded. They say that her boyfriend was beaten half to death.”
A forced marriage is no different from rape.
The bald fool is clearly a pedophile with powerful supporters on his side. This poor girl …I feel so sorry for her. Its better to die than to marry a sick old fool with kids older than this young girl
I could not imagine it. Her happiness for the rest of her life is destroyed.
The Russians have a different concept with the Americans on what is compulsion. Many girls are in an arrange marriage by their parents.
Their muslim faith has contributed to this since most Chechens are muslims. Compulsion is part of their culture and the women are treated as chattels in their traditional culture.
The man looks closer to 60yrs, I doubt 46 is his age. He is old enough to be her grandfather. Which girl would want to willingly marry an old man. Haha..what a joke to claim she would want to marry a grandfather. Plus he is already married too, with children older than this 17yr old kid. The fool has destroyed this child’s life .Pathetic!! He doesn’t deserve to be called human.
I cant compare that piece of garbage to snything because even the garbage is valuable next to him, i wish he suffer a heart attack and be on bed suffering to pay back what he did. I dont wish things like this to anybody but this one deserve it.
