So I dated Kazakh woman for a while. This is true, but the title is misleading. In a nutshell, when two people elope, it's officially considered a kidnapping, to save face for the family. But no one get prosecuted and everyone knows what's going on.

She said the only realistic thing, in the movie Borat, was the kidnapping scene, and even that was outlandish.

Gonna go read the article now and see if I need to make any updates.
