## Caption

Photo by davidemonteleonestudio / Republic of Chechnya, Russia, 2013. A bride is ready to leave home for her wedding. Dating is not usually part of Chechen social life. Marriages are generally arranged by families, who try to marry into another family of equal or superior wealth and social standing. Many young people do choose who they'll marry, although they may ask for parental approval. Chechen parents often exercise considerable pressure on their offspring to marry other Chechens.
