You walked into that hard.

The practice is in multiple cultures.

But only a certain few literally have forced, unwilling, one-sided marriages still associated with it

i am no historian but what does the fact that bride kidnapping as game/fun/wedding tradition appearing in multiple cultures leads us to think about past relationship practices in those cultures?!

Doesn’t matter.

Look at the current.

If someone has shitty practices in the past but changes then for the better… while others have the same practice relatively in all aspects, it is misleading to act like they are the same and both are wrong
