Penculikan mempelai

Penculikan mempelai, yang juga dikenal sebagai pernikahan melalui penculikan atau pernikahan melalui penangkapan, adalah sebuah praktik di mana seorang pria menculik seorang wanita yang ia ingin dinikahi. Penculikan mempelai telah dipraktikkan di seluruh dunia dan sepanjang sejarah. Praktik tersebut masih terjadi di negara-negara di Asia Tengah, kawasan Kaukasus dan sebagian Afrika, dan sejumlah suku seperti suku Hmong di Asia Tenggara, suku Tzeltal di Meksiko, dan suku Romani di Eropa.

Di kebanyakan negara, penculikan mempelai dianggap sebagai kejahatan seks ketimbang bentuk pernikahan yang sah. Beberapa jenis dari praktik tersebut juga dipandang jatuh di antara pernikahan paksa dan pernikahan perjodohan. Istilah tersebut terkadang digunakan tak hanya meliputi penculikan, tetapi juga kawin lari, di mana sebuah pasangan melarikan diri bersama dan menghindari perhatian dari orang tua mereka; hal tersebut masing-masing dianggap sebagai penculikan yang tak dikehendaki dan dikehendaki. Namun, bahkan saat praktik tersebut bertentangan dengan hukum, penegakan yudisialnya masih lemah di beberapa wilayah, seperti Moldova, Kirgizstan dan Chechnya.

Penculikan mempelai berbeda dengan raptio karena penculikan mempelai merujuk kepada penculikan seorang wanita dengan seorang pria (dan teman-teman dan kerabat-kerabatnya), dan masih merupakan praktik yang merebak, sementara raptio merujuk kepada penculikan wanita berskala besar oleh sekelompok pria, diyakini pada masa perang (lihat pula pemerkosaan perang).

Beberapa budaya mada masa sekarang mengutamakan ritual penculikan mempelai simbolik sebagai bagian dari tradisi terkait pernikahan, di mana praktik penculikan mempelai ditampilkan dalam sejarah budaya tersebut. Menurut beberapa sumber, bulan madu adalah relik dari pernikahan melalui penangkapan, berdasarkan pada praktik suami menyembunyikan istrinya agar tidak diketahui para kerabatnya, dengan tujuan agar wanita tersebut mengandung pada akhir bulan.^[1]
