Are you and your buddies looking for female companionship, but are denied the chance to interact with women in a normal manner because of your location, your occupation, or the fact that you all have No Social Skills? Well, no matter. The problem's easy enough to fix. Just get your buddies together, form a raiding party, swoop down upon the nearest village and carry away all of its prettiest women. Of course, you can expect the pretty women to not be so keen on the idea, at least at first. Expect to see a lot of passive-aggressive behavior coming from their general direction... as well as the odd rock or frying pan... and you may want to wear a groin protector when you're walking around in their approximate vicinity... at least for a while... Don't worry, though. They'll eventually come around and become willing mates for you all. You can speed up this process if you act sheepish and apologetic around them. Let them think you're just as sorry about the situation as they are angry. Do nice things for them. Smile when they jam their heels into your foot or dump freezing cold water down your pants or slam your fingers into windowsills. And know that one day, if you can endure this abuse long enough, they'll grow tired of beating on you and start to find you strangely attractive. Hopefully, this will happen before the girls' fathers, brothers or friends find out where you live and turn you and your buddies into tomato paste. If you've behaved yourself and acted properly towards the women, you may get lucky and find yourself wed to your new sweethearts in a Shotgun Wedding. If not, then... it's best not to think about what will happen to you... In some cases, the trope is subverted, with the woman a willing participant in the abduction; the stock excuse here is that she wants to escape an Arranged Marriage she finds unpleasant, but there may be other reasons. Her family will probably still want her back, though — or at least have a satisfactory explanation for what happened. In some cases, what was implicitly once outright kindapping has become formalized into a specific tradition where most steps are now ritualized and expected ahead of time. The extreme end of this idea of this includes And Now You Must Marry Me. See A Match Made in Stockholm when the kidnapping is done for other reasons than obtaining a mating partner while the end result is the same. See also Stockholm Syndrome, I'm Taking Her Home with Me!, and Captive Date. This should go without saying, but... Don't Try This at Home. Or anywhere else. Seriously, just don't. |

Subverted in Tokyo Ghoul with Torso. He is utterly obsessed with Mutsuki, to a terrifying degree. His diary from the 4th volume reveals that he believes they share a mysterious connection, and this "spark" of desire will be his salvation. They just need to have a long, private talk... then Mutsuki will understand their destined bond, and return his love. He then proceeds to kidnap Mutsuki, cut off his arms and legs, and declare they will be getting married. He even dressed Mutsuki in a white dress and put a wedding ring on his cut off a hand. Over the next month, Mutsuki plays along with him and even begins to feel some sympathy after learning about his Freudian Excuse... but ends up snapping and killing Torso in a blind rage. | |

365 Days may as well be "Abduction Is Love: The Novel". Massimo thinks the best way to win Laura's heart is to kidnap her and hold her captive for a year, in the hopes she'll fall in love with him. He promises to let her go after a year if she doesn't feel the same way, but he still sees no flaws in this plan. Of course, Laura does end up developing feelings for Massimo in less than a year (about three to four months, to be exact). | |

The whole plot of two Ranma ½ theatrical features features a foreign (and formidable) prince kidnapping Akane to make her his bride. The second goes whole hog and Prince Toma's entourage kidnaps all the other girls in the cast for the same purpose. The antagonist in the third PC-Engine video game, Toraware no Hanayome, turns the tables and kidnaps female Ranma instead. | |

Miraculous Ladybug: In Season 5's "Pretension", Félix/Argos develops romantic feelings for Kagami and wants to save her from her overcontrolling Tiger Mom. His method of doing so involves kidnapping her in broad daylight. Bonus points in that he admits to have followed her everywhere before their first meeting. Kagami ultimately deduces his poor behavior is the result of having No Social Skills, which is something she also struggles with. After learning how much they have in common, they become a couple at the end of the episode. | |

In "Tsarevitch Ivan, the Fire Bird and the Gray Wolf", the Wolf carries off Helena the Beautiful, but dries her tears when she sees the handsome Ivan, and soon they love each other. Given that he had kidnapped her because another king had demanded her — it's a good thing they have the wolf on their side. | |

Air Gear has a fairly benevolent example when Yayoi kidnaps her Love Interest Agito. It's all rather pleasant due to the fact that despite her feelings for him, she doesn't have any actual romantic designs on him and the "abduction" is largely an attempt to force Agito to stop running himself ragged. Given he's fairly calm about the whole deal, it's implied he agrees. | |

Part of Darko Kerim's backstory in the original James Bond novel From Russia with Love. Specifically, his treatment of a captured woman falls just short of rape (not that he has any objection to that) and is about two steps away from "It rubs the lotion on its skin." But hey, by the time someone called him on it, she had gone from wanting to kill him to not wanting to leave, so he's cool. | |

An alternate title for 365 Days (based on the novel of the same name) could be "Abduction Is Love: The Movie". Massimo's entire motivation for kidnapping Laura is so they can fall in love; she's initially resistant to the idea, but she gradually warms up to him and by the end they've decided to get married. | |

The Phantom of the Opera: The Phantom brings the opera singer Christine Daae down to his home in the basement of the opera house. Here he tells her that they are going to live their lives together as husband and wife. After some time, he decides that she can come and go when she wants to, and she comes back multiple times without him forcing her to because of her Sympathy for the Devil. It is only at the end of the book, where The Phantom has kidnapped her in the middle of a performance and threatens to blow up the opera house if she doesn't marry him, that it gets really serious. | |

Circleverse: The Will of the Empress reveals the Namornese empire has a tradition of kidnapping women before marriage, which Sandry is horrified to learn. Generally, the "kidnapping" used to be a mutual agreement between a young couple trying to bypass a family's disapproval or a way to "spice up" marriage vows. It has now turned into something quite ugly. A lot of men are sure their new wives will come around eventually. As one could expect, though, many do not. And when Shan and Fin attempt this on Sandry... well, it ends badly. | |

Attempted by Maurice de Bracy and Brian de Bois-Guilbert when they abduct Rowena and Rebecca in Ivanhoe, with a garbled reference to the Tribe of Benjamin. Rowena and Rebecca are both in love with Ivanhoe, who loves only Rowena, and the former is eventually rescued during the Battle of Torquilstone, which occurs the same day. Bois-Guilbert and Rebecca's plot continues for the rest of the novel following the former fleeing with the latter from Torquilstone to Templestowe and eventually Bois-Guilbert's plot spirals down from there. | |

In the world of A Brother's Price, men are very rare and valuable. Years ago the Whistler women abducted the fifteen-year-old prince Alannon. He was not happy about this, but because that entire branch of his family was soon executed for treason for their part in the War of the False Eldest, he decided to be philosophical about it. His grandchildren describe their grandmothers as being run ragged trying to make him happy, from building a bathhouse despite not knowing what they were doing to teaching their sons to be Spirited Young Gentlemen rather than Proper Gentlemen. The practice of "husband raids" has been made socially unacceptable since that time; there are laws against it, and every member of a family which contains men is aware of the possibility and willing to fight furiously to prevent it. However, these laws were enacted not out of empathy for the men who would be kidnapped, but for the sake of cohesion within the country. It's hard to trust your neighbors if they kidnapped your brother before you could sell him. | |

This shows up in both the Ramayana and Mahabharata and has both the unwanted and wanted varieties. The only way elopement was accepted was if the potential groom kidnapped the bride-to-be and was able to get back to his kingdom with her without her other suitors catching up to them and killing him. This leads to situations in which the young women write to the men that they love something akin to "I'll be leaving the temple at this time without bodyguards, come kidnap me then". Unfortunately, there are also many situations in which they get kidnapped and made to marry someone they didn't particularly care for either. Interestingly, what is painted in the worst light is not kidnapping someone who doesn't like you, it's kidnapping them and then trying to return them without marrying them. This happens to Bhishma in the Mahabharata, where he kidnaps three girls for his brother to marry. His brother marries two of them, but the other one is left Defiled Forever because Bhishma won't do the honorable thing and marry them (he's a Celibate Hero who's taken a vow). | |

The plot of the Soviet comedy Kidnapping, Caucasian Style involves a young anthropology student named Shurik going to the Caucasus to learn local customs. He ends up falling for a Caucasian girl named Nina. Unfortunately, a local political leader named Saakhov has also taken a liking to the girl. He makes a deal with Nina's uncle, who sells her for some sheep and a fridge. The uncle hires a trio of thugs to abduct the girl while on a hiking trip. When that fails, he convinces Shurik that Nina knows all about it and just wants to re-enact the traditional local custom of bride kidnapping. Shurik helps the trio perform the kidnapping, only to realize that he was tricked. He tries to free her. Meanwhile, Nina finds out about her uncle's deal and threatens to go on a hunger strike if they don't let her go. | |

Grilka to Quark in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, with Grilka as the abductor. To explain, Quark killed Grilka's husband in self-defense (actually, the drunk Klingon fell on his own knife). Since her House would lose its position without a male to lead it, Grilka forces Quark to marry her. Her goal is to convince Gowron to grant the House special dispensation to allow a female to rule it and be on the Council. Eventually, Gowron does so, and Quark asks for a divorce. Apparently, the latter involves Grilka spitting out a few Klingon curses, punching him in the face, and physically spitting on him. There is a later episode, where Grilka returns to the station, and Quark tries to start a romance with her by asking Worf to teach him how to woo a Klingon female. | |

The Pirates of Penzance operetta (as well as the modernized adaptation The Pirate Movie, based on it) features 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.) | |

Book of Judges: In Judges 21:10-24, men from the tribe of Benjamin find themselves with no women to marry, so they abduct women from Shiloh to be their wives. When the fathers and brothers of the kidnapped women come to retrieve the women, the Israelites ask for permission to keep them, "...for we didn't find enough wives for them [the Benjaminites] when we destroyed Jabesh-gilead." No word though on whether the captive women ever warmed up to their captors at all. | |

The Palaververse: Parodied with the mammoth tribes, where it's custom for brides to kidnap their husbands. This has over time developed into a very formalized process, where, after proper approval and vetting by the respective clan chieftains, as well as consulting with the groom-to-be and his family, the mammoth cow in question beans the subject of her affections upside the head with a suitably decorated sap, throws him over her withers and rushes back home. This is usually followed by an equally scripted counter-raid and is generally treated in the same manner as more sedate wedding customs are among other societies. This all leads to some... confusion... when a mammoth character tries to give relationship advice to an ibex doe based on her own romantic experiences. | |

In Final Fantasy IX Zidane kidnaps Garnet, only for him to start to like her. Garnet/Dagger, meanwhile, doesn't like him back until he personally helps her with her problems. Also played with in the sense that Garnet specifically requests Zidane to kidnap her in order to get her away from her megalomaniac mother. Granted, the plan was already set in motion to kidnap her anyway, but her willingly going along with it makes things less coercive. | |

Hades has the idea to talk to Demeter and ask permission or declare his feelings to Persephone, but Zeus goes for one of his favored methods, "I suggest kidnapping." And the rest is history. | |

In The Wheel of Time, part of the Aiel wedding ritual is for the bridegroom to "capture" his fiancée in a melee with friends from both sides getting involved. Although the whole affair is arranged in advance with mutual consent and no lethal force is used, the Aiel are a Proud Warrior Race who expect the wedding party to be very enthusiastic in proving their intentions — one bride leaves her beloved quite concussed for the wedding. | |

In Red Eye, Jackson Rippner holds Lisa "hostage" on their flight to get her to assist him in an assassination plot. It's implied that he developed feelings for her in the eight weeks he had to watch her prior to this and even ambiguously tells her that when they get out of this, he may have to "steal" her. Of course, she's not cool with any of this at any point in the film. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Many cultures practice this, including the wildlings and the Ironborn. Bride capture is ingrained in wildling society; a wildling woman won't even respect a potential mate unless he kidnaps her, something Jon Snow finds out by accident only after he performs what he thought was standard captive-taking and the wildlings considered a proposal. The differences in marital traditions north and south of the Wall become particularly evident when Stannis' southron knights become convinced that they can simply wed the wildling Princess Val and expect her to settle down as a respectable courtly wife, no matter how many times they're told she would never have an ounce of respect for someone who didn't best her first. For the wildlings, this is somewhat mitigated by the fact that their women are not socialized to be submissive to men like in the Seven Kingdoms, and won't put up with a husband mistreating them. They have a saying that a man can have an unhappy wife or he can have a knife, but he cannot have both. It is disputed by characters and fans alike what exactly the relationship was between Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen before they both died. It is unclear whether they were in love and eloped, whether he kidnapped her, and then they fell in love, or whether he kidnapped and raped her. Robert Baratheon firmly believes the latter (which is unsurprising since Lyanna is his lost love), but virtually everyone else, including Lyanna's brother, think this is very unlikely, given Rhaegar's reputation for being a good man. |

In 28 Days Later, the few surviving soldiers seem to at least understand that 'borrowing' the last two uninfected women in England and keeping them against their will as breeding stock and female company is quite possibly immoral. They just don't care anymore. They seem to think treating them with a thin veneer of decency will eventually make them warm to the concept, but it's just about enough to get them all slaughtered horribly anyway. (As if they weren't vile enough, one of the "women" is actually a fourteen-year-old girl whose father they'd earlier gunned down in front of her.) | |

Her brothers agreed to the marriage only if Shechem and all his countrymen agreed to be circumcised. |

The Courtship of Princess Leia: Han kidnaps Leia to prevent her from marrying Isolder. Though she's outraged at him initially, over the course of the book she chooses him instead of Isolder and they get married at the end. It helps that they had been lovers before. Isolder on the other hand is captured by Teneniel and thus made her slave by her people's custom. The two of them fall in love, she sets him free, and they marry. |

The Reveal that Lyanna died giving birth to his son and begging her brother to protect the child despite having fought a war against Rhaegar heavily implies a love affair was involved. Turns out it was consensual, and that Lyanna loved him over Robert. | |

This happens on Kenshin's route in Ikemen Sengoku, with him locking up the female main character in his dungeon as "spoils of war". Made complicated by how Kenshin is so emotionally repressed and resistant to falling in love again because of a past tragedy that he initially refuses to admit to even himself that he imprisoned her not because he was angry at her for not telling him she worked for his enemy or because he wanted her as a prisoner of war, but because he wanted to keep her close to him and away from everyone else. | |

They draw the inspiration for their act from a book that detailed the history of the Sabine women. Of course, the brothers, being ignorant hicks, misinterpret the word Sabine as "Sobbin'"'. They also make a few other ignorant presumptions about how things would turn out. Fortunately for them, the girls they kidnapped do eventually fall in love with them (after putting them all through the wringer for what they did...) | |

Criminal Minds has an episode called "Bloodline" which dealt with a family that fancied themselves modern-day gypsies kidnapping girls to get a bride for their adolescent son. It was revealed that the mother was similarly kidnapped as a child. | |

The premise behind Happy Sugar Life. Satou finds Shio outside in the rain one day and becomes convinced that she was in love with the young girl. While later chapters explain that Satou technically didn't kidnap Shio in the fashion one might expect, she still keeps her locked away in her apartment room, claiming that the world outside was dangerous. She is fully aware that others are searching for her, but she doesn't care. Satou's manager when she worked at the Princess Imperial is revealed to have kidnapped her coworker Mitsuboshi, molesting him as an attempt to get him to love her. |

The Avengers: Issue #200, where Carol Danvers learns she was kidnapped, brainwashed, and raped... and nobody sees this as a bad thing. A year later her creator Chris Claremont wrote the Annual #10, where it turns out she'd stayed out of contact with the Avengers due to their betraying her by letting her go off with her rapist, not realizing she was still brainwashed when she said she wanted to. | |

Edward's breaking of Bella's truck so she cannot escape him in The Twilight Saga book Eclipse is portrayed as an act of love. Come to that, Bella and Edward's entire relationship is based on Edward doing manipulative, controlling, or just plain creepy things with Bella (and the narrator) deciding that this is somehow endearing and romantic. | |

The Book of Mormon: The wicked priests of King Noah were hiding in the wilderness, having abandoned their people as the Lamanites conquered their land, when they stumbled across a group of daughters of the Lamanites dancing in the woods. They captured these daughters and made them their wives. Presumably, love followed because the next we hear of these daughters is them (and their children) pleading with an army of Lamanites not to kill their husbands. | |

Beware of Chicken has stealing your intended wife as an accepted and expected tradition among the northern tribe where Yun Ren and Gou Ren's mother hails from. While it's a bit more than a staged ritual abduction, both examples encountered are completely consensual and take place after the couple has courted the normal way and are ready to finalize their engagement, making it more like their equivalent of getting down on one knee with a ring than a true abduction. | |

Richard appears and explains had been trying to see her but his Smug Snake brother George, who is Anne's guardian, would not permit it. Richard arranged the abduction so he could see her and convince her to marry him. | |

The linchpin of the goblins and the elves in the Hollow Kingdom Trilogy. The kings of both must marry outside their species in order to carry their magic forward (humans for elves, any sentient species for goblins). The goblin kings have certainly tried to make this work: it's explained that the goal of every king is to produce a son stronger than him, but the feelings of both parents must be in accord. The more a king's wife cares for her new subjects, the better a son she will have. The goblins also steal elf women in order to shore up magic, as goblin women tend to be sterile. The elf kings, before they died out, started to care less and less about this. Once they'd stolen a bride, they would give them a drink to induce amnesia in them, so there wouldn't be any pesky yearning for human family or comforts. This backfired on them massively with the wife of Aganir Melim-bar. Once she got pregnant, he would have no more to do with her, and she took revenge by switching her baby, Ash, with an ordinary elf baby. Only the elf king is cross-fertile with human women, so the false king produced no heir before getting killed by something the real elf king would have shrugged off. Centuries passed before Ash's magicless descendant married a human woman and produced a new elf king. |

In The Wild World of Batwoman, one of Batwoman's nameless go-go dancing sidekick Batgirls (it's an odd movie) is abducted by two henchmen to hold hostage, but rescued by Batwoman. Later on when a mad scientist's Happy Pills makes all the good guys dance uncontrollably (ahem), one of the henchmen, Tiger, takes to opportunity to snatch her again, having apparently developed a little crush on her. He treats her nicely, though, and eventually pulls a Heel–Face Turn for her, so they wind up Happily Ever After. | |

The Coffin of Roboute and His 20 Sisters: On Macragge, the traditional courting procedure consists of a highly ritualized kidnapping ritual, where the prospective groom, at least one week following a formal declaration of intent, must successfully kidnap his desired from her family compound while tying a belt or collar to her somewhere, and defend against counterkidnapping attempts from her male relatives, usually between one and three depending on how much they like or dislike him. During this time, he must also provide for the woman from his household supplies and see to her entertainment, preferably with song or a musical instrument. Should he succeed in these things, they are declared married. | |

Durarara!!: Somehow, averted. This is oddly enough, one of the things that doesn't happen for love, despite people in the cast believing slashing, manipulating, getting plastic surgery, and lying are good ways to express one's feelings. The only times kidnapping does happen is not for romantic reasons, not even in Kasane's case, since she kidnapped Shinra for business purposes and not out of love. | |

ElfQuest: Cutter originally abducts Leetah under the influence of the elf mating urge called Recognition. Fortunately, cooler heads prevail, he lets her go, apologizes, and agrees to fight the urge, trying to undo the bad first impression by courting her in a civilized fashion. They get things straightened out and end up Happily Married, which is less creepy than usual because Cutter wasn't in his right mind at the time of the abduction. | |

Played with in Sekirei. The bond between a Sekirei and their Ashikabi is normally the result of destiny bringing them together, but it is entirely possible to create a bond by force. Two of the major villains built armies this way, capturing and winging Sekirei against their will — one Mook describes the process as "taming" them. Once the bond is formed they seem to develop a strong loyalty and affection for their Ashikabi, whether the bond was consensual or not. Interestingly, the two villains have completely different relationships with their harems — Higa's Sekirei are treated as disposable servants, while Mikogami's are Pretty Freeloaders that treat him affectionately. In the finale, Higa loses the majority of his Sekirei while all of Mikogami's Sekirei choose him as their Ashikabi again. | |
