Then allow me to reiterate:

The adviser also said the bride would be punished - and suggested that meant a beating - for spoiling the lavish event.

And note this:

But Dana Cherendea, an adviser to Florin Cioaba, said the rebellious bride had begun to "resign herself to her fate."

"They spent the (wedding) night together. It was the deal," Cherendea said by telephone.

Please pay special attention to the phrase "resign herself to her fate". What a joyous event, that one should resign one's self to one's fate and become a sexual chattel! And at 12!

And whose "deal" was it?

Tell me, please, how requiring parents to allow children to grow up before requiring them to take on adult behaviors is equivalent to genocide, the comparison you implied with your reference to the deracination of the Native American tribes? No one is threatening to put their children into boarding schools and never allow them to speak Romany again, only requiring them not to suborne rape.
