Stolen brides are a type of bride abduction which is when a woman is kidnapped by a man, sometime with the help of his family or friends, and forced into marriage. This practice is most common in certain parts of Asia and Africa, but it has been known to occur in other countries as well. In many cases, the woman is taken without her consent, and she may be threatened or physically harmed if she refuses to marry her abductor. In some cases, the woman's family may also be threatened or harmed if they attempt to rescue her. Stolen brides often experience psychological trauma due to the violation of their rights and the fear associated with being taken against their will.
