Public outrage as China bridesmaids taped to bike, forced to kiss strangers as wedding prank
Extreme wedding pranks are prevalent in China; a separate incident involving 3 men tying up a groom, causing permanent disabilities
Shocking footage of two bridesmaids in China being taped to an electric bike and forced to kiss strangers has ignited widespread outrage over vulgar marriage traditions.
In September, a viral video from Shaanxi province in northwestern China showed several men taping two women to an electric bike by the roadside, with one man holding their heads down while another kissed them.
The bridesmaids, dressed in formal gowns, appeared visibly distressed and were screaming, with one of them blushing in embarrassment.
Onlookers filmed the incident, laughing and cheering, with some even helping to hold the bridesmaids’ heads to prevent them from dodging the kisses.
The person who filmed the video stated that it lasted several minutes, and the two men identified as groomsmen were unfamiliar with the bridesmaids.
As of this writing, neither the bride nor the groom has commented on the incident.
One netizen remarked: “The two women looked sad, nearly in tears. This is clear sexual harassment.”
“The onlookers were both indifferent and ignorant, encouraging a crime,” another wrote.
