Synopsis: Since Kyrgyzstan attained independence in 1991 there has been a resurgence of the practice commonly known as Ala-kachuu, which could be translated as ‘grab and run’. Over half of the women in Kyrgyzstan are married to men who kidnapped them. Some of them manage to escape following violent confrontations, but most are persuaded to accept the marriage out of respect for tradition and fear of social rejection. Despite the fact that kidnapping brides is considered a crime under Kyrgyzstan’s criminal code, the law is rarely imposed to protect women from this violent practice.
