This is so Borat it’s not even funny.
Get your “Marriage Sack” ready and look out Pam Anderson.

The police officer is named Magomed Yevloev. I have a feeling that the “g” may be pronounced kind of like an “h.”
The only mention that this region is mainly Islamic is where the clerics get together and say that bride stealing violates Sharia as well as Russian law. But I kind of doubt how much they really meant it.

How much you want to bet they have Death Penalty laws for goat stealing though?

I'm pretty sure I read about a Hmong refugee getting into a heap of trouble engaging in that cultural practice in the US.
That must have been about 30 years ago.
To: Kartographer
Not me. That’s who Borat went after with the “Marriage Sack” in the movie.
I never intimated that Borat had good taste, no.

Most ethnic groups have a history of this type of thing at some point. My daughter is a wedding videographer and has done a number of Romanian weddings. A key feature is a prearranged “kidnapping” of the bride.
It is even claimed that the wedding ring is a relic of the bonds used to control the bride when kidnapping her.
This is not a common practice in most Muslim areas.

This is only a couple of hundred miles from Sochi. Lot’s of fetching prospective “brides” will be there soon.

But it’s still OK to have sex with goats as long as you don’t steal them.
