The actual tradition used is based in Asian culture. Marriages were often arranged when the children were small. To this day, parents of boys often try to "sell" a girls parents on what a good family he is from, how good a family she will be a part of, and try to arrange for an "agreement".
The abduction thing is not true.

Yes, it's true. I am flying to Ukraine in a month and will abduct my woman by plane and train to tell her parents that I will be taking her away from them.
What? Not true? You mean I'm spending all my money just for a VISIT? What a rip-off! The travel agent said I could just pick out a woman and bring her home with me.

I am in the process of reading a book called "Gulag" where if a man laid his eye on you then you could guarantee you were not going to be seen for a long time, it actually led you to a long prison sentence, mostly for no reason.
This may be a quaint way of asking for a girls hand but it is a sure fire way of getting shot.

In the US, if someone tries to abduct someone, he usually gets cursed at. Then, gets kicked in the balls, slapped, and a few other things. Then the cops put the handcuffs on.
