The basic institution of society is the family. Traditions and customs that have continued from past to present play an important role in the formation of the family. Every nation and society has its own unique marriage traditions. These traditions are formed by being nourished by religion, values and cultures. One of the traditional marriage types is marriage through kidnapping. Although the tradition of kidnapping girls is subject to reactions and criticism from many societies today, it continues in some societies.
