It's amazing to see the contrasting difference at the end. The wealthy family wants to keep tradition the same while the poor families see a way out of poverty through education
Well why would they want change? Change is always facilitated by poor and marginalised people because they're literally dying because of the status quo.
That's normal. Established elites always try to keep things the same. Then there's the progressive elites who try to stay on top of any new development. It's young and poor people who want to find ways to either change or improve their life that spearhead change. But change only happens when the large majority in the middle accepts something as an improvement.
No you don't. You are shallow. Stop acting like you are superior. There are very few people achieve everything he/she dream of. (You probably care about only the womans.) In this world you only can achieve everything if you only care about yourself. If you care about others or you want to make the world better you will fail.
@@Zodroo_Tint I think your understanding of what shallow is has been limited by core education. I do not blame you, I blame your parents. It is by dreaming that humanity went from homeless hunters to farms to civilization
It doesn't mean they don't work, they probably refer to work where you have to bend your back and they seem kinda chubby for it. I concur, after adding some 20 pounds in the last year.
I am from Romania and I knew one of those guys, I think he appears in this video at the church scene. He was the father of a friend of mine growing up. The kid was very smart, but dropped out of school after the elementary because his father said that that's enough. They used to make rain drains for roofs and that was what their family has done for generations. I ran into him last year I think and he now has a construction company doing the same thing but on a bigger scale and and kids even though he is just 23. They grow up faster. One thing I always appreciated is their sens of family, even though they were nomadic and moved from region to region to find business, their elder was always in charge and they all respected him.
Some Indian communities where the Romas come from have a similar mentality. They would try to run a business and most boys drop off after having learnt to read and write. However, they can be exclusivists and this causes problems with the locals in Mumbai etc.
The video maker makes so much of education, tell that to my university friends- from electrical Engineering with degrees. All are unemployed and works as labourers and shop keepers and drivers. But those who study the humble building profession are earning big money. I was unemployed and for nearly ten years and doing stupid jobs despite I had 69% in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Then went into plumbing etc and now I earn 55000 pounds a year.
Do I love him? For twenty-five years I've lived with him Fought with him, starved with him Twenty-five years my bed is his If that's not love, what is? Then you love me? I suppose I do And I suppose I love you too It doesn't change a thing But even so After twenty-five years It's nice to know

They seem calmly accepting of the fact that their kids and grandkids will cause the end of their traditions. Very interesting. No bitterness or anger about it.
Because they will most likely die before that happens, so it's out of their hands. Can't really do anything about it except enjoy the good times while they last.
I did find this interesting it seems like poorer families want their kids to be able to provide for themselves and are willing to let them lead their own lives The wealthy family by comparison sees it coming but they aren’t actively allowing their kids to “break tradition”

A shame DW felt the need to censore what the man at 1:15 says. He says "We are Gabor Gypsies", not "We are the Gabor". Gabors are very proud to call themselves gypsies, I actually saw Gabors arguing that they are not to be called rroma, they are gypsies and proud of it, despite the EU rhetoric being that the term is racist. They indeed insist on doing things "their way", regardless of laws, social norms, or how it affects those around them etc. Oh, and for those wondering, Karacsonyfalva is Craciunesti in Romanian, it lies on the Niraj river valley (Nyaradmente) in Mures county. About 15-20 km by car from Targu Mures (depeding which side you approach it). Regarding what they deal with and how they make a living, most have indeed inherited valuable items hidden by their forefathers from the communist regime (maybe some of dubious origin), some are still copper workers (sell copper dishes at festivals and fairs for ex.), tinsmiths, roofers, some indeed travel western Europe and bring back items to resell (some items bought, some stolen, counterfeit, found in dumpsters throw away by western Europeans...nobody really knows), of course without legal forms (unregistered) and paying tax, so on paper they have no income and receive welfare. In Transylvania you can easily spot them due to their garments and their cars which most of the time have Hungarian, Polish and Lithuanian licence plates, for (to Romanians) obvious reasons ...
It's funny that the "documentary's" rhetoric is all about "oh how will their traditions survive globalization" when clearly their mentality of the people making this is a globalist one because purpousefuly avoid translating a term that western euope considers "problematic" or straight up racist.
Yes, it was wonderful to hear Hungarian from them. I’m living overseas for a few decades now. They seem like they are decent people. I hope they can keep their traditions.
@@triarb5790 yes, some people are so dum and naive in these comments.. I respect the culture but kids getting married has never been my cup of tea. That's their life and I respect it but I don't agree with that
I wish that y'all had included more from the perspective of the families that are not as fortunate in the village, as well as how the younger people view their traditions.
They live as they can, doing menial work and working the land for just enough food and money to get on with the next day. The traditions they have are the common ones, x-mass, easter and so on. When she finishes HS she will have to decide if she wants to stay in the dead end village or try moving to a town or city to get an unskilled job find a boyfriend and move together to be able to afford rent. Learning spanish from soap operas and going abroad to pick fruit in the summer is a well established practice. College is unlikely, because these village schools are lousy and are unable to provide thorough enough education to actually keep someone going trough a single exam session. But still possible as there are guaranteed minorities spots in every university. Having to pay rent in a city would be a nightmare tho. This is not only her destiny as a minority, everyone in that school shares this curse, the Gabors are well off because of "trading", the rest of the village is still going medieval.
I love the way he declares the love of his beautifull wife.Then shows his wife's skirts. Good greif they eat well.The word diet must be a word never spoken. Notice no rubbish on their streets.
Bones and whatever other trash that is produced likely gets buried. That has been common practice at 1990 and before~. My grandparents used to throw all trash into "compost" pile and neighbours would burry theirs.
The old man who repair all things, I just amazed what he said at the end of the interview, when he was asked to choose food or money then he suddenly answered him "I am satisfied"
I cried like a baby at my wedding when my dad “gave me away” because I’ve always been a Daddy’s Girl! And I was less than 30 days until my 25th BD at the time. People who love each other and are close, tend to be emotional when family structures change.
Yeah, good business practice since the fall of communism 1990. Travelling to western europe a lot and making use of the cheap property prices in eastern europe.
They seem to hate employment and prefer to take the risks of entrepreneurship. I am sure the majority fail, but the few ones that actually make it, create a source of revenue that can scale depending on the consumer's demands. High risk high reward. I m sure out of every 100 trades, only 10-5 succeed meaningfully.
This reminds me of the culture my family escaped from in the Ukraine. It breaks my heart when traditions are valued over freedom and building your own life. This was fascinating and yet painful to watch due to memories. When I was 14 years old, I was spending time with my friends and doing well in school. I can’t possibly fathom having to worry about being married off. You’re still a child, regardless of having undergone puberty or not. As interesting as this can be to outsiders, it’s different when you were a part of this kind of culture and managed to escape.
Freedom is all relative I suppose. I’d rather be 18 years old and a Gabor then 18 years old and being drafted into the Israeli defense force for war. If you don’t know it exists, then you are free. Shoot, for all we know, human bickering is an example of how enslaved we are on this planet. Maybe there’s other planets with humans on it that are far more utopian and “free”

Yes I agree, I am Hungarian and I saw the video from a diffrent point of view. Yes beautiful clothes and people etc , yes an interesting culture but many other things also, if we just read between the lines. But I respect them and they have a purpuse like all of us here on earth.

@@Chrisko1492 to some it sounds lonely. But I do find solace in exploring the world. Engaging with people. Observing nature and humanity (or the lack thereof), studying philosophy, having a dog and dating. If I were to have a child I would adopt. Too risky to get married these days.

@@var7071 14/15 yo might still be young for responsability, but in my opinion, it's not that bad in the context of their culture. In those cumminities, children are raised to maturity quickly. 14/15 yo is also not that young in all other cultures. Even in western countries, people start relationships around or before that age and many of them have sexual experiences by that age. We all know 15 is not a child anymore. In the west, family building, work and the way of living is different: it's more individualistic and capitalist way of life: married couples are expected to be autonomous and completely independent of their families, they must have their own place to live (they don't live with their parents after marriage), have jobs, salaries, etc. For this reason, marriage doesnt make sense at very young ages in the west and many other countries. But I guess in communities such as Gabor which are still largely traditional with farming and family businesses at the center of their lives, married couples live in the same big family house and they work for the family and get help from family, which makes it less harder to get married at a very young age.
@@var7071 and this is also not like pedophilia, the couple are the same age, they are both are teenage. I don't think their older people can marry very young girls. Gabor have a nice culture, it's different but respectable, traditional and lovely.
My grandmas parents were from Budapest and Romania and met in Hungary where they immigrated from when Germany was wiping through the country sides in the early 40s Let me tell you, that woman could COOK.

I'm from Romania...first of all they live in a city that was part of Hungarian Empire and untill now there live many of them. So in that city people will speack romanian,hungarian and theyr dialect. The problem with many of them is that they woun't accept romanian as main language. For example if they will go to Bucharest they will be forced to talk romanian because there no one talks hungarian ore other dialects.

As much as I enjoyed this the difference between the wealthy Gabor and the poorest the poor recognised that education for their daughter was important at the end when you hear the school children saying their dream jobs my heart broke especially for the little girls,what chances will they have if they’re parents take them out of school so young.
@@alizaerom1019 Saying things like that just reinforces the privilege we have. Maybe for you it is not necessary to have a career and it's fine, but for this girl it is the only way to be independent and to provide a better future for her and her family. Didn't you see the part where they marry young girls and they don't have a say about it? Education is the single more important thing you can give to children to empower them and give them the tools to aspire a better quality of life.
@@alizaerom1019 it is to the western system where from birth your programmed to work borrow buy and die, which is reinforced by the world around you, by friends parents friends media etc its a matrix like system most cant comprehend as there so deeply entwined into it they never see it
Trust me, their tradition survives😂 They never marry someone that is not gypsy, and to this day they still marry and have kids at a very young age. They have lots of other traditions and crafts too🥰 Also, most of them are nice and kind, they would just don't mix with other nations when it comes to marrying someone or having children.
@Andre Hpunkt They were a migrating community of people with horses and drays and tents, to this day people still don't know where they actually came from.
Took my American husband to a Hungarian party the first 4 women I introduced him to were all named Andrea plus my middle name is Andrea & also my mother’s first name is Andrea so you know it’s a thing….
My husband's last name is Gabor, he is hungarian roma. His family traveled here to America 120 years ago. It is amazing that this is more than likely his families origins.
They are so genuinely devoted, they really meant it when they were praying. Such clean colourful houses, and how they love their children and families so much, it was so touching the way she tells her daughter in law how cherished she is, what an amazing community. Thumbs up
As a Romanian from transylvania I feel the same :))) because I've never socialised with the community I feel like I'm watching what's happening somewhere far far away.
Jesus, when I was 14, I was making my sims characters get married. I couldn't imagine being 14 and actually getting married, yikes. She's way too young.
I know what you mean, but still can't help but think that we, the western society on one side allow for couples that young (unmarried) to have sexual relations ......but on the other hand look at communities such as Gabor as weird. What is marriage if not a lesson of commitment.. The related part is weird though, not just culturally but innate (hereditary) aspects associated with it!!
I am Hungarian, and I want to point out, that during the film, they are talking in 3 different languages... even the children... not necessarily on the highest level, but this is still amazing. We often forgot that these communities are talking multiple languages.
Y’all notice how Mundra claimed all of her perfumes and lotions as “hers”, and then corrected herself by saying “ours” when she initially said her husband’s stuff was “his,”? Lol.
The kids getting married reminded me of like when a photographer tells two 3 year olds to kiss or hold hands for a photo op… the kids don’t seem too interested in being together or like they actually love each other… more just like their parents telling them what to do and they’re just going with it
I always wanted to get married in my 20s. I'm 42 and still single. Marriage is not for me because I have a disability and my family are protective. Plus they need my support
💥🤗🦸♂️ I live in Romania and as a Roamanian now is the first time. When I see how the customs are in the Roma community . I am amazed. even if we live in the same country. We are separated and we have totally different customs.I like to learn about them ..they are interesting people.👍🏻
@Julaybib is My name you are stupid nobody steals these people trade maybe you steal and you are a criminal Romanians don't do that and it is said that there are 500,000 Roma in Romania if you haven't heard the video....you name is not Romanian ..spune ceva in romană vorbeste..
I love the fact that thr mother in law understands that her new daughter in law and her own son are still just kids. She takes such good care of them. I know many people who should have that mentality too
Thats the point. If you get the wife of your son at your home its much easier you to influence her. If i can say the new family forms her to fit in your family. As a mother in law (or any in laws) its much easier to get on well with a girl you raised at half of her teenager years than with a grown up. She is gonna feel for you more like a mother than a mother in law. Thats what they said as well. Thats because family wants the wedding at so early age.
DW documentary, I been watching your gems since few years, thank you for showing me corners of our bountiful world that I would never seen somewhere else, never ceased to fascinate your audience.
I live in Mures county in Romania and as hungarian I must say Gabor Romas are very hard working people, very respected in bouth hungarian and romanian communities. They are masters of making things. This documentary is spot on. They are like that and they dont still. They are a very colorful community.
What a coincidence that you write these thoughts, because i was thinking that if the video was about some people in some region of my country who live and marry exactly in the same way - exactly except for the age of marrying and age of leaving school - the comments would be so insulting towards horribke muslim traditions. Everything is the same, the gifts on the bed, the money to the family except that women guests give money to the mother while men give it to the father. The father says exactly the same thing to his daughter before she leaves her home. And there are always tears on the bride's family cheeks. Also the men are still served first in these communities, and men and women are still separated when the guests are not relatives.
Not a fan that the kids get married so young but.... But I have to say I am amazed by how the family's are supportive of each other they have such a beautiful traditions that they share and pass down from generation to generation. ...
I completely agree. I saw beautiful traditions but also things I think could change for the better. I love that they care for their elders. I bet none are in old folk homes all alone .
I know, it crazy how half way through when the MIL was talking about how she takes care of her and her son because they’re so young and shouldn’t have to worry about anything. I guess I understand that they’re afraid of their daughters getting snatched for brides, so they make them brides first to boys of their choosing, but they’re literal children being “married” (I use quotations because they make sure not to go through the church to make it legal). I appreciate how there is the option that if she decides she’s homesick or is unhappy she can leave and go home. But I’m assuming that that probably brings some sort of shame associated for not making the marriage work.
When they were inside eating dinner as a huge family, that made me sad. I think in much of the west our families have broken down...events like that are becoming more and more of a rare sight.
Too much freedom and individual thinking.There are some ties and standards that should remain fixed.such as the grammar of a language.it sure evolves but doesnt change totally
Typical conversation in this village: „Hey, Gabor!“ „Hello Gabor!“ „How has your day been so far Gabor?“ „Not much, just taking a walk with my grandson, Gabor-Junior over here“
I love the colors and the vibrancy of their lives! I know nothing is perfect but this documentary paints a beautiful picture of a proud people. Really interesting!!
@@rameshsingh2480baby, it has got nothing to do with love. Actually you don't even know what love actually is. Love for YOUR family is just herd mentality it's survival. Love goes beyond your need for safety or survival. Love has no motivation to be. These people "love" each other only in the appearance because their love is rooted in their ego. They marry their kids young to preserve their wealth. This is survival mentality based on the fear of losing ones identity but even that identity will go like Sumerians, Egyptian, Mayas or the Inca have gone, the Gabor will go too. From my experience gypsies, and I'm not trying to be judgemental, split in two types. Rich beyond belief or dirt poor. Very few are middle class working decent jobs. This happens for 2 reasons. In Romania for example and probably in other places the main population doesn't accept them and in their turn, especially the poor gipsies often are involved in stealing and violence. Both parts must work together if they want to integrate in society but how can you do that when you marry your kids at 16 to protect your wealth and only care about many dresses your wife has and how much money you can splash around to show off while a large par of the wider community pesters in poverty resorting to ilegal activities and getting involved in violence?? You call that love? This little picture you're looking at only fits in the four corners of your screen, the world is much more complex than that.
This is a fabulous documentary. Thank you. I am mesmerized by the luxury of the fabrics. The women’s clothing made from them are some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.
Same thing in my family Men at one table or outside and women separate. The parents speaking at the end of the documentry are amazing for allowing their daughter to pursue education.
Wow what an amazing and close knit community. I absolutely love how they take care of each other and I was shocked that they converted to Seventh Day Adventists. I grew up in that church and they truly are about inclusiveness, family and good health. The way the sister in law was playful and adores the new bride is really cute. Their customs work for them and are not harsh towards anyone. They are a blessed and happy people and I wish them the best.
Say what you want about their odd customs and traditions, especially related to marriage, but you have to admit they seem like very happy and content people, with enough honesty to realize their customs and traditions likely won't live on especially in the new generations.
If the purpose of school is to learn how to function in the society you live in, then by that standard these people are highly educated. They have a society that has worked for them for hundreds of years. The last thing they need is to be told, by our crumbling society of mental illness, addictions, abandoned elderly, and all the rest, that our society is the one they should adopt.
@@coryparni3620 Well, let me explain it to you, dummy. The purpose of education is so that you can live and work. It isn't just to know random facts to look clever. When you grow up, you'll discover that most of what you know isn't something you learned in school. You know it because you had to know it to live. I speak 3 languages and they weren't learned in school. I can repair my car and, again, didn't learn it in school. I am a chef and baker and, AGAIN, didn't learn that in school. I know a great deal about world history - nope didn't learn what I know in school. Education means learning. It doesn't mean you sat doodling in a notebook so you could pass a test. Get it now?

Until this docu appeared in my feed, I was unaware of the Gabor. Forever curious about different ethnic groups, I watched it with great interest. I won’t judge them for their heritage, culture and traditions, but they are indeed an rather unique people. My primary concern is how can an insular community of 1,000 people living in the same town for 500 years keep their gene pool from becoming polluted due to inter-family marriages and related offspring? It appears like a natural breeding ground for mental and physical defects.
That is why so many of them look similar; they are all closely related to the others in the community. If there are people with genetic defects (as there must be some), they would hide them from the world.
This is an absolutely fantastic documentary. I was all smiles from ear to ear watching this. I hope DW team will find more subjects like this but of other ethnicity or nation. Thank you. I've watched a lot of Turkish TV series and the Gabors have a bit of cultural traits/practices with the conservative Turks.

I am from Romania and I knew one of those guys, I think he appears in this video at the church scene. He was the father of a friend of mine growing up. The kid was very smart, but dropped out of school after the elementary because his father said that that's enough. They used to make rain drains for roofs and that was what their family has done for generations. I ran into him last year I think and he now has a construction company doing the same thing but on a bigger scale and and kids even though he is just 23. They grow up faster. One thing I always appreciated is their sens of family, even though they were nomadic and moved from region to region to find business, their elder was always in charge and they all respected him.

Some Indian communities where the Romas come from have a similar mentality. They would try to run a business and most boys drop off after having learnt to read and write. However, they can be exclusivists and this causes problems with the locals in Mumbai etc.

They seem calmly accepting of the fact that their kids and grandkids will cause the end of their traditions. Very interesting. No bitterness or anger about it.
Because they will most likely die before that happens, so it's out of their hands. Can't really do anything about it except enjoy the good times while they last.
I thought the same thing. It’s commendable.
I did find this interesting it seems like poorer families want their kids to be able to provide for themselves and are willing to let them lead their own lives
The wealthy family by comparison sees it coming but they aren’t actively allowing their kids to “break tradition”
Culturally speaking they have been used to hardship so maybe due to that it is easier to accept this as a fact of life.
They probably keep the hat. Looks american and they like american stuff.

A shame DW felt the need to censore what the man at 1:15 says. He says "We are Gabor Gypsies", not "We are the Gabor". Gabors are very proud to call themselves gypsies, I actually saw Gabors arguing that they are not to be called rroma, they are gypsies and proud of it, despite the EU rhetoric being that the term is racist. They indeed insist on doing things "their way", regardless of laws, social norms, or how it affects those around them etc. Oh, and for those wondering, Karacsonyfalva is Craciunesti in Romanian, it lies on the Niraj river valley (Nyaradmente) in Mures county. About 15-20 km by car from Targu Mures (depeding which side you approach it).
Regarding what they deal with and how they make a living, most have indeed inherited valuable items hidden by their forefathers from the communist regime (maybe some of dubious origin), some are still copper workers (sell copper dishes at festivals and fairs for ex.), tinsmiths, roofers, some indeed travel western Europe and bring back items to resell (some items bought, some stolen, counterfeit, found in dumpsters throw away by western Europeans...nobody really knows), of course without legal forms (unregistered) and paying tax, so on paper they have no income and receive welfare. In Transylvania you can easily spot them due to their garments and their cars which most of the time have Hungarian, Polish and Lithuanian licence plates, for (to Romanians) obvious reasons ...
100% agree with all you said
Indeed!
Dodgy!
Truth
It's funny that the "documentary's" rhetoric is all about "oh how will their traditions survive globalization" when clearly their mentality of the people making this is a globalist one because purpousefuly avoid translating a term that western euope considers "problematic" or straight up racist.

I wish that y'all had included more from the perspective of the families that are not as fortunate in the village, as well as how the younger people view their traditions.
Totally agree would’ve been better to show the differences and especially the young girls that had dreams other than becoming housewives.
They live as they can, doing menial work and working the land for just enough food and money to get on with the next day. The traditions they have are the common ones, x-mass, easter and so on. When she finishes HS she will have to decide if she wants to stay in the dead end village or try moving to a town or city to get an unskilled job find a boyfriend and move together to be able to afford rent. Learning spanish from soap operas and going abroad to pick fruit in the summer is a well established practice.
College is unlikely, because these village schools are lousy and are unable to provide thorough enough education to actually keep someone going trough a single exam session. But still possible as there are guaranteed minorities spots in every university. Having to pay rent in a city would be a nightmare tho.
This is not only her destiny as a minority, everyone in that school shares this curse, the Gabors are well off because of "trading", the rest of the village is still going medieval.

This reminds me of the culture my family escaped from in the Ukraine. It breaks my heart when traditions are valued over freedom and building your own life. This was fascinating and yet painful to watch due to memories. When I was 14 years old, I was spending time with my friends and doing well in school. I can’t possibly fathom having to worry about being married off. You’re still a child, regardless of having undergone puberty or not. As interesting as this can be to outsiders, it’s different when you were a part of this kind of culture and managed to escape.
Freedom is all relative I suppose. I’d rather be 18 years old and a Gabor then 18 years old and being drafted into the Israeli defense force for war. If you don’t know it exists, then you are free.

But what about the child marriage?
@@var7071 14/15 yo might still be young for responsability, but in my opinion, it's not that bad in the context of their culture. In those cumminities, children are raised to maturity quickly. 14/15 yo is also not that young in all other cultures. Even in western countries, people start relationships around or before that age and many of them have sexual experiences by that age. We all know 15 is not a child anymore. In the west, family building, work and the way of living is different: it's more individualistic and capitalist way of life: married couples are expected to be autonomous and completely independent of their families, they must have their own place to live (they don't live with their parents after marriage), have jobs, salaries, etc. For this reason, marriage doesnt make sense at very young ages in the west and many other countries. But I guess in communities such as Gabor which are still largely traditional with farming and family businesses at the center of their lives, married couples live in the same big family house and they work for the family and get help from family, which makes it less harder to get married at a very young age.
@@var7071 and this is also not like pedophilia, the couple are the same age, they are both are teenage. I don't think their older people can marry very young girls. Gabor have a nice culture, it's different but respectable, traditional and lovely.

The kids getting married reminded me of like when a photographer tells two 3 year olds to kiss or hold hands for a photo op… the kids don’t seem too interested in being together or like they actually love each other… more just like their parents telling them what to do and they’re just going with it
I always wanted to get married in my 20s. I'm 42 and still single. Marriage is not for me because I have a disability and my family are protective. Plus they need my support
Bride: We knew each other before we were engaged because we were related...
This is the first comment I've seen, I was like oh so we're just going to blow right past that? Ok.
Yeah child marriage and incest its the "tradition"
Roll tide brother!

💥🤗🦸♂️ I live in Romania and as a Roamanian now is the first time. When I see how the customs are in the Roma community . I am amazed. even if we live in the same country. We are separated and we have totally different customs.I like to learn about them ..they are interesting people.👍🏻
I'm glad that you saw this video
@Julaybib is My name same as who?
@Julaybib is My name💥💥💥👍🏻 Search on UA-cam. Romanian wedding. Orthodox Christian
@Julaybib is My name u talking shit,the life style of romanians got nothing to do with this gabors!
@Julaybib is My name you are stupid nobody steals these people trade maybe you steal and you are a criminal Romanians don't do that and it is said that there are 500,000 Roma in Romania if you haven't heard the video....you name is not Romanian ..spune ceva in romană vorbeste..
I love the fact that thr mother in law understands that her new daughter in law and her own son are still just kids. She takes such good care of them. I know many people who should have that mentality too
But yet it was fine for them to be married off, forced to have sex and the girl is expected to get pregnant quickly.
They were forced married, what's to be loved in that?
Thats the point. If you get the wife of your son at your home its much easier you to influence her. If i can say the new family forms her to fit in your family. As a mother in law (or any in laws) its much easier to get on well with a girl you raised at half of her teenager years than with a grown up. She is gonna feel for you more like a mother than a mother in law. Thats what they said as well. Thats because family wants the wedding at so early age.
Mother said that they sleep like a siblings just hugging and kissing that was a hint that they did not have sex@@triarb5790
DW documentary, I been watching your gems since few years, thank you for showing me corners of our bountiful world that I would never seen somewhere else, never ceased to fascinate your audience.
Thanks a lot for watching and for your positive feedback, Bika. We appreciate you taking the time to comment and are glad you like our content! :)
I live in Mures county in Romania and as hungarian I must say Gabor Romas are very hard working people, very respected in bouth hungarian and romanian communities. They are masters of making things. This documentary is spot on. They are like that and they dont still. They are a very colorful community.
I’m actually shocked at how loving and supportive the community is, just due to the high religious connotations of the culture. Very refreshing.

He said dont shame the family. Refreshing to see a functional family.
What a coincidence that you write these thoughts, because i was thinking that if the video was about some people in some region of my country who live and marry exactly in the same way - exactly except for the age of marrying and age of leaving school - the comments would be so insulting towards horribke muslim traditions.
Everything is the same, the gifts on the bed, the money to the family except that women guests give money to the mother while men give it to the father.
The father says exactly the same thing to his daughter before she leaves her home. And there are always tears on the bride's family cheeks.
Also the men are still served first in these communities, and men and women are still separated when the guests are not relatives.
nah! They are just pretending. It boils down to either you are rich or pious. You can not sit on 2 chairs at the same time....Just Gypsies
This makes My Big Fat Greek Wedding look like a Junior High dance 😂😂😂
Hahaha
You probably haven't seen an indian wedding
Bitch please xd
The south italian wedding has no end,period

This was really lovely!!!!! Thank you so much for giving us this beautiful documentary! Bless you and our Gabor brothers and sisters! ❤❤
Thanks a lot for watching and for your positive feedback!
Not a fan that the kids get married so young but.... But I have to say I am amazed by how the family's are supportive of each other they have such a beautiful traditions that they share and pass down from generation to generation. ...
I completely agree. I saw beautiful traditions but also things I think could change for the better. I love that they care for their elders. I bet none are in old folk homes all alone .
Honestly, I wish I had been married off that young. Woulda saved me alot of trouble
The kids not doing anything together.
I know, it crazy how half way through when the MIL was talking about how she takes care of her and her son because they’re so young and shouldn’t have to worry about anything. I guess I understand that they’re afraid of their daughters getting snatched for brides, so they make them brides first to boys of their choosing, but they’re literal children being “married” (I use quotations because they make sure not to go through the church to make it legal). I appreciate how there is the option that if she decides she’s homesick or is unhappy she can leave and go home. But I’m assuming that that probably brings some sort of shame associated for not making the marriage work.
Yes roma people many time force their kids marry at a young age. 16. Its still a child. 😐
OMG! The wonderful husband who loved his wife so much after 42yrs, that he wanted the whole world to know. Wow! Now that’s a man 👍🏾❤️
When they were inside eating dinner as a huge family, that made me sad. I think in much of the west our families have broken down...events like that are becoming more and more of a rare sight.
I agree.
Too much freedom and individual thinking.There are some ties and standards that should remain fixed.such as the grammar of a language.it sure evolves but doesnt change totally
Because the West have shallow proprities and trivial stuff
I don't eve know who my relatives are, like I have vague idea I have them I just don't know tho 😐
Indeed! Many of us are fighting to keep , God, good morals and families united.
I loved this Documentary. Didn't know a thing about Gabor people before watching this. Thank you for sharing their lifes and tradition with us.
They show You only the nice part . In real they are not like that.
Typical conversation in this village:
„Hey, Gabor!“
„Hello Gabor!“
„How has your day been so far Gabor?“
„Not much, just taking a walk with my grandson, Gabor-Junior over here“
Lol hahahahhahahahaa
Have You seen ZhaZha Gabor ??
😂😂😂😂
I really enjoyed this documentary. I’m Romanian, never knew much about the Gabors. Thank you for showing us
Hi @Transylvanian Farmer, thank you too for watching!
I love the colors and the vibrancy of their lives! I know nothing is perfect but this documentary paints a beautiful picture of a proud people. Really interesting!!
most significant part is love ,helping attitudes and respect for each others.
@@rudigabor4066 Forza Sandu Ciorba pralaaa!Bahtale
@@rameshsingh2480baby, it has got nothing to do with love. Actually you don't even know what love actually is.
Love for YOUR family is just herd mentality it's survival. Love goes beyond your need for safety or survival. Love has no motivation to be. These people "love" each other only in the appearance because their love is rooted in their ego. They marry their kids young to preserve their wealth. This is survival mentality based on the fear of losing ones identity but even that identity will go like Sumerians, Egyptian, Mayas or the Inca have gone, the Gabor will go too.
From my experience gypsies, and I'm not trying to be judgemental, split in two types. Rich beyond belief or dirt poor. Very few are middle class working decent jobs. This happens for 2 reasons. In Romania for example and probably in other places the main population doesn't accept them and in their turn, especially the poor gipsies often are involved in stealing and violence. Both parts must work together if they want to integrate in society but how can you do that when you marry your kids at 16 to protect your wealth and only care about many dresses your wife has and how much money you can splash around to show off while a large par of the wider community pesters in poverty resorting to ilegal activities and getting involved in violence?? You call that love? This little picture you're looking at only fits in the four corners of your screen, the world is much more complex than that.
@Abhinandan Zambare yes sure
@@rudigabor4066 you treat woman like property and it's disgusting.
This is a fabulous documentary. Thank you. I am mesmerized by the luxury of the fabrics. The women’s clothing made from them are some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.
Thank you for your comment!
Same thing in my family Men at one table or outside and women separate. The parents speaking at the end of the documentry are amazing for allowing their daughter to pursue education.
Wow what an amazing and close knit community. I absolutely love how they take care of each other and I was shocked that they converted to Seventh Day Adventists. I grew up in that church and they truly are about inclusiveness, family and good health.
The way the sister in law was playful and adores the new bride is really cute. Their customs work for them and are not harsh towards anyone. They are a blessed and happy people and I wish them the best.
Say what you want about their odd customs and traditions, especially related to marriage, but you have to admit they seem like very happy and content people, with enough honesty to realize their customs and traditions likely won't live on especially in the new generations.
If the purpose of school is to learn how to function in the society you live in, then by that standard these people are highly educated. They have a society that has worked for them for hundreds of years. The last thing they need is to be told, by our crumbling society of mental illness, addictions, abandoned elderly, and all the rest, that our society is the one they should adopt.
@@Automedon2 fr. People be complaining about the young marriage but have sex at the same age is no big deal.
@@Automedon2 now yor talking nonsense
@@coryparni3620 Well, let me explain it to you, dummy. The purpose of education is so that you can live and work. It isn't just to know random facts to look clever. When you grow up, you'll discover that most of what you know isn't something you learned in school. You know it because you had to know it to live. I speak 3 languages and they weren't learned in school. I can repair my car and, again, didn't learn it in school. I am a chef and baker and, AGAIN, didn't learn that in school. I know a great deal about world history - nope didn't learn what I know in school. Education means learning. It doesn't mean you sat doodling in a notebook so you could pass a test. Get it now? Jeez, do I have to teach you children everything?
@@Automedon2 I liked this comment the ffirst time you wrote it when it was relevant to someone talking about schooling but then you copy and paste the exact same comment here . No one is talking about schooling here . Lol .
Thanks for putting this back up!
I line the grandpa in the beginning, seems like he has a ver dry and funny sense of humor but he's also quite well-spoken and just seems to be a very nice man. I bet all his grandchildren enjoy hanging out with him. He would be the kind of grandfather with a new story to tell every time.
People for sure missed that 😅
Very Clean people homes and streets are lovely! Love the colorful skirts and clothing. Its so gaudy I somehow adore it! I am Hungarian and remember going to a festival and loving the dancers traditional outfits.
The skirts would look gaudy in our country, yet really suited to them.
h
As an introvert person I can't stand with noisy and crowded place but this makes me happy seeing them happy and it tears me too and I like this people and place so peaceful and loving people...
Gypsies take "gaudy" to the next level!!!
Interesting that you would call the ethic flare of your OWN country, "gaudy".
Until this docu appeared in my feed, I was unaware of the Gabor. Forever curious about different ethnic groups, I watched it with great interest. I won’t judge them for their heritage, culture and traditions, but they are indeed an rather unique people. My primary concern is how can an insular community of 1,000 people living in the same town for 500 years keep their gene pool from becoming polluted due to inter-family marriages and related offspring? It appears like a natural breeding ground for mental and physical defects.
my thoughts exactly - very interesting though!
Indeed. I would expect a high rate of genetic disorders. I haven't watched the whole video yet. I wonder if this will be addressed.
That is why so many of them look similar; they are all closely related to the others in the community. If there are people with genetic defects (as there must be some), they would hide them from the world.
I thought the girl said they were related
@@leflann2633 she did say that
This is an absolutely fantastic documentary. I was all smiles from ear to ear watching this. I hope DW team will find more subjects like this but of other ethnicity or nation. Thank you. I've watched a lot of Turkish TV series and the Gabors have a bit of cultural traits/practices with the conservative Turks.
Dw is my favorite youtube channel. Thanks for this wonderful doc.
“We knew each other because we are related” 😔
I love the education of this. But that truly took me for a loop!
🤮🤮🤮🤮
There is this Jewish show on Netflix called "stitzel" i really like it . The main character ends up marring his first cousin. So it happens in other religions and communities .
@@ibilda7729 That doesn't make it "right".. We used to steal women from other caves and rape them too.. It's called PROGRESSION.
"tradition" is the opiate of the sick, and scared mind to keep it held in place.
When the man said this is my for 42 years of wife he's still in love with her. I love the women's colourful clothes. I love how people guests bought chiken and lambs. It like Asian traditions.
yes, traditions keep people close to one another
Thank you for this unique insight into a culture unto itself, very well received 🙂
I live in the other village next to them. They always are dressed exceptionally stylish and they are keeping their traditions.
1. Awww, that MIL absolutely loves that little girl. I won’t lie, it was pretty adorable.
2. TITANIC PRINT SKIRT?
If a Titanic print skirt was that unappealing to you, i'm glad you didn't notice this 32:46 blouse print! 😛
@@CataVlad21 I have an aunt who was a dressmaker and was making dresses for Gabor gypsies just like "Margit" at 26:10. I can confirm, they have the strangest style you can imagine. I have seen it with my own eyes when a lady brought fabric imprinted with BMW logos all over to make dresses for herself. Who even prints such fabric?
It's so wickedly cool that they made a mess with the gifts in the bride's bedroom and then left. 😂😂😂😂
I knw I watched.. And went 😱😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's refreshing to see such a happy wedding come from arranged marriage. The young bride's face said it all. Bless the happy couple!
childbride
40+ minutes of fascinating viewing! Well done!
I watched this entire documentary to look at their pretty skirts, what a delightful community.
LOL :DDD
I live in Dublin, Ireland and I often see Roma people here. All the Roma women wear those skirts
They descend from India if you wondered why their skirts similar to what indian women's wear ☺️
@@Angelaius yes I heard they descend from northern India
@@Angelaius they even dance in an Indian style
Thanks a lot DW Documentary for bringing up such a beautiful story that's otherwise unseen
Thank you for watching, Tanzim!
Guard your husband like the apple of your eye. WOW! I absolutely love that. This was my mother, grandmother and great grandmother's old fashioned Jamaican tradition. Amazing!
She asked for 500 euros for the red printed yardage and the customer immediately agreed ?!! No bargaining ?? Shocking !!
It's be like that when dw is filming 🙂
I doubt is the exact Euro we know,
@@cardibee8969 this clothes are very expensive. They told us 20 ys ago when visited them. So I can imagine.
@@zunaiandre2341 it s the same euro. There is no other euro out there🤣🤣
😅😅
The gabor's family reminds me of the traditional rich indian families I've seen in the hindi serials/dramas
They are descendants of Indian migrants that immigrated to Europe about 2,000 yrs ago, as all gypsies are. So it makes sense
Because they are descendants of Indians!
Their reluctance to marry outsiders and zeal in preserving custom is Indian casteism culture.
5:23 - DW: "The outside world poses the greatest danger to the insular community of the Gabor."
Wilford Brimley: "DIABEETIS."
😂
Inbreeding is also healthy
As a Romanian i can say that this documentary changed the way i see the Gabor traditions and life! Thanks for opening my eyes!
@popularentertainment7360 I don't think you saw the video bro 🥲
@@Worldwideuuu they are a clan bro. There's more family's, not just one....
@@ZamaHotu I’m a gypsy I know better every gypsy community/village is ussally one family there’s many Gabor all over Europe with different clans and cultures those gabors are descents of this family every gypsy family name has a main family and main clan I also myself come from a family similar to this I am not a descent of my own family but then there a other gypsies who have my surname and are part of different clans and live in diffrent countries and they would be descendants
@@ZamaHotu i also myself have a half brother who’s a Gabor yet he has no connection with them or there culture/clan centuries ago somwhere down the line some gabors separated from there main community and with time they ended up marrying into different clan and take on culture from there they only persevered there surname
@@Worldwideuuu the from what clan are the traditions? I want to know more about this.
