- Summary:
- In Kyrgyzstan, more than half Kyrgyz women are married after being kidnapped by the men who become their husbands. This is the ancient practice of Ala-Kachuu ("grab and run"), and it has returned. Some women escape the men that kidnap them, but many remain married because of tradition and the fear of scandal. .
