Tears on her wedding day: Heartbreaking pictures capture moment forlorn teenage bride was forced to marry a polygamous Chechen police chief after 'he threatened her with kidnap'

Kheda Goilabiyeva, 17, looked despondent throughout the ceremony in the Chechen capital Grozny where she married a police chief despite him already having another wife. She was asked three times whether she wanted to marry 47-year-old Nazhud Guchigov - who already has another wife - before finally responding yes.
Chechen strongman Ramzan Kadyrov, who has ruled Chechnya with an iron fist since being installed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, was said to have given his personal blessing for the marriage in apparent violation of Russian laws against polygamy.
