Kalaidzi is an old ancient Romani community in Bulgaria that has nurtured its traditions for centuries through a series of beliefs and customs. It is the "Roma Bride Market".
The most important thing is that the girl is innocent, so that the family can sell her for a large amount of money. Otherwise, if it is known that the girl is not innocent, she is given at the lowest possible price.
This is the only occasion when girls are allowed to interact with men outside their family.
Dating on other days or outside of this event is not allowed. Teenage girls are always accompanied by family members who watch over them carefully. Also, marriage outside their community is taboo.
Men in this market spend $7,500 to $11,300 on bargains.
