- Title
APPROACHING ABDUCTION THROUGH NARRATIVES.
- Authors
Peveri, Valentina
- Abstract
The article discusses marriage by abduction in the Hadiya zone of Ethiopia, with a particular focus on its characterization by the Ethiopian government as a harmful traditional practice (HTP). According to the author, Western stereotypes about abductions are inaccurate and obscure the fact that many abductions occur with the previous consent of the girl being abducted. Details on other marriage customs in the region are presented. Other topics include violence, Western concepts of romantic love, and gender.
