The world has progressed so much, but there are still strange traditions on the Indonesian island of Simba. The island is also home to Muslims, Christians and the ancient religion Mara Poka.
The kidnapping of a girl for marriage is still practiced on Simba Island. Steps are taken by the government to stop it but sporadic incidents keep coming up. The government had taken action after the video of two girls abducted for marriage went viral recently and now strict measures are being taken to stop such marriages.
According to a girl who was abducted for marriage, when she was picked up, she managed to send a message from the car to her father and boyfriend, due to which she escaped. The victim said the abductors were relatives of her father's era. When he took them home, there were already a lot of people who started singing wedding songs as soon as I arrived.
