Gypsy Child Brides

on BBC Two England

3/5. Regina is only 14 yet her father has seen fit to sell her into an arranged marriage to a 19-year-old man for the equivalent of$3,000. The World Weddings strand uncovers the ancient and often disturbing traditions of Romania's gypsies, customs that have recently come under fire from the European Union as tantamount to child abuse. After centuries of persecution, however, the gypsies are not about to relinquish their rituals without a struggle - "a woman's role is that of a slave", is the brutal boast of one clan leader.
