In the Sudanese Latuka tribe, when a man wants to marry a woman, he kidnaps her. Elderly members go and ask the girl's father for her hand in marriage, and if dad agrees, he beats the suitor as a sign of his acceptance of the union. If the father disagrees, however, the man might forcefully marry the woman anyway
