| Abstract: | Bride abduction (BA), also known as bride capture or marriage by abduction, is a type of forced marriage that is practiced in some traditional patriarchal and agricultural-based cultures (Academic Dictionaries and Encyclopedias no date; Ouattara et al. 1998). BA is practiced in Central Asia, the Caucasus area, regions of Africa, Southeast Asia, Mexico, and Europe. Some forms of the practice are on a continuum between forced marriage and arranged marriage (Werner 2009; Kleinbach and Salimjanova 2007; Academic Dictionaries and Encyclopedias no date). The women who are abducted, raped, and forced to consent to marriage are similar to victims of human trafficking (HT) and in some cases, may become HT victims (Americans for UNFPA, no date). |
