Marriage by Capture
Marriage by Capture is an ancient practice where a man would take a woman by force to make her his wife. This method was often seen in tribal societies, where the act of abduction was considered a legitimate way to establish a marital bond. The woman’s consent was typically not a factor in this arrangement.
In many cultures, Marriage by Capture was linked to the idea of demonstrating strength and bravery. Over time, this practice has largely fallen out of favor and is now viewed as a violation of individual rights and autonomy, reflecting changing societal values regarding consent and marriage.
