Line 84:
* The Neathar, a culture of Neolithic [[Noble Savage]] tribesfolk in [[Mystara]]'s Hollow World, routinely abduct brides from neighboring Neathar tribes.
==
* ''[[The Pirates of Penzance]]'' operetta (as well as the modernized adaptation''The Pirate Movie'', based on it) feature a band of matrimonially minded pirates who try to woo/capture the daughters of a Major-General. (It's a good thing the number of pirates and the number of daughters matched up and that, in the movie, the ugly daughter was willing to be matched with the ugly pirate.)
* In ''[[The Taming of the Shrew]]'', Petruchio kidnaps Kate after their wedding ceremony. It's really more for show than anything else, since she was going to go with him anyway, but she still doesn't enjoy it.
* ''[[Seven Brides for Seven Brothers]]'' revolves around the titular brothers kidnapping seven women (who already had beaux) and essentially holding them prisoner over the winter, [[Stockholm Syndrome|during which they fall in love with their abductors]]. Yes, it is ''rife'' with [[Unfortunate Implications]]; what do you expect from a fun family musical inspired by (and explicitly referencing at one point) [[w:The Rape of the Sabine Women|the Rape of the Sabine Women]], albeit indirectly?
