Bride Kidnapping
As a historical fiction author, I enjoy the research part of writing. Often, I stumble upon the most fascinating, sometimes abhorrent information. This happened when I was researching bride kidnapping in 10th century Europe. I was shocked to discover that bride kidnapping and child brides are still practices in numerous countries today.
The plight of women in many cultures is disturbing. Following is a two part video on bride kidnapping in Krgyzstan.
