* ''ComicBook/LesAiglesDeRome'': When Segestes refuses to marry off Thusnelda to Arminius, he and his men sneak into Segestes' town and kidnap Thusnelda so they can elope together. Since they're already head over heels in love with each other prior to this incident, she's very happy with this state of affairs.

** Earlier, the Bible had Shechem kidnap, rape, and decide to marry Dinah, the daughter of Jacob. Her brothers agreed to the marriage only if Shechem and all his countrymen agreed to be circumcised. Three days after the countrymen comply, her brothers turn out [[KillEmAll not to like this trope very much]].

* [[GenkiGirl Yo]] from ''WesternAnimation/FanboyAndChumChum'' is ''obsessed'' with the latter protagonist. In the first season, there were 3 episodes in which she attempts to kidnap Chum Chum were a major plot point. [[note]]''Brain Drain'', ''The Incredible Shrinking Fanboy'' and ''Trading Day''.[[/note]] [[FriendVersusLover She sees Fanboy as the greatest hurdle between her and Chum Chum]] and most of her plans start with distracting him. So far, the creepiest example of getting rid of Fanboy was [[WhoEvenNeedsABrain stealing his brain]] and ''hiding it in her backpack''. As for abducting Chum Chum, she once trapped him in a giant virtual pet case. In later episodes, he is noticeably less friendly and more frightened of her.

* In ''Film/Theatre/{{Fangirls}}'', LoonyFan Edna decides that she best way she can prove her love to Harry is abduct him and [[BatmanInMyBasement hold him prisoner in her bedroom]].

has an interesting etymology.]]

* Some sources claim the original female population of Iceland was mostly kidnapped from Ireland and/or Scotland. While it is known from genetic research that 60-70% of the female ancestors of Icelanders were Gaelic, it is unclear whether they were mostly abducted or willing brides from the Norse-Gael settlements in Scotland and Ireland. According to contemporary - and indignant - clerical chroniclers, Vikings were considered seriously hot by Christian women who appreciated their habits of bathing regularly and combing their hair.

[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
* The whole plot of two ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' [[TheMovie 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.
* In ''Manga/TokyoMewMew'', Kisshu kisses Ichigo the second he sees her. Later on, he attempts to kidnap her and escalates from there.

* Played with in ''Manga/{{Sekirei}}''. The bond between a Sekirei and their Ashikabi is normally the result of [[RedStringOfFate destiny]] bringing them together, but it is entirely possible to create a [[AMagicContractComesWithAKiss bond]] by force. Two of the major villains built armies this way, capturing and winging Sekirei against their will -- one {{Mook|s}} 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 PrettyFreeloaders that treat him affectionately. [[spoiler:In the finale, Higa loses the majority of his Sekirei while ''all'' of Mikogami's Sekirei choose him as their Ashikabi again.]]

* In ''Manga/RedRiver1995'', Yuri's small stature makes it unfortunately easy for lustful men to pick her up and run off with her. Ramses in particular makes multiple attempts to forcibly take her to Egypt to be his bride.
* Subverted in ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'' with [[StalkerWithACrush 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. [[spoiler:Over the next month, Mutsuki plays along with him and even begins to feel some sympathy after learning about his FreudianExcuse... but ends up snapping and killing Torso in a blind rage.]]
* The premise behind ''Manga/HappySugarLife''. 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.
* At the beginning of ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'', Hayate kidnaps Nagi aiming for ransom money to pay off his parents' debts, only for Nagi to think that he loved her.

* In ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'', Cutter originally abducts Leetah under the influence of the [[MindlinkMates 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. [[spoiler:They get things straightened out and end up HappilyMarried, which is less creepy than usual because Cutter wasn't in his right mind at the time of the abduction.]]
* The infamous issue #200 of ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'', where ComicBook/CarolDanvers learns she was kidnapped, brainwashed, and raped... and we're supposed to see this as a good thing. A year later her creator Creator/ChrisClaremont fought back in ''Avengers 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. She proceeds to epically chew them out and refuse to return to the team, opting to join the ComicBook/XMen instead.

* In ''[[https://web.archive.org/web/20070519223345/http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/firebird/stories/birdgrip.html The Bird Grip]]'', the princess's feelings are not touched on until his brothers kill the prince who abducted her, but then she weeps bitterly.
* In ''Literature/TheFireBirdTheHorseOfPowerAndThePrincessVasilissa'', the princess dislikes the tsar she has been abducted for because he is old but falls in love with the archer who abducted her.

* ''Film/SevenBridesForSevenBrothers'': The page quote comes from the song "Sobbin' Women". The movie features a brood of socially awkward men who kidnap some townswomen they take a shining to during a town dance. They draw the inspiration for their act from a book that detailed the history of the Sabine women (see Mythology and Religion, below). 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...)
* In ''Film/RedEye'', Jackson Ripener 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.

* The plot of ''Tie me up! Tie me down!'' (or ''Átame!'' in Spanish) revolves around a former psychiatric inmate trying to make a woman love him by abducting her and tying her to her bed. [[spoiler:And he succeeds, too. Well, [[BittersweetEnding sort of.]]]]

* In ''Film/TheWildWorldOfBatwoman'', one of Batwoman's nameless go-go dancing sidekick Batgirls ([[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext 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 ([[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext 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 HeelFaceTurn for her, so they wind up HappilyEverAfter.

* {{Gender Flip}}ped in the 1926 ''Eve's Leaves''. The titular character is a [[PirateGirl pirate]] who abducts a guy named Bill Stanley, partly out of infatuation, and partly to gather more crewmen to serve on her father's ship when Chinese bandits attack.
* Zaida from ''She's a Sheikh'' kidnaps Captain Colton of the French Foreign Legion in an effort to woo him.
* ''Film/ConanTheDestroyer'': Referenced for laughs when TheIngenue asks for dating tips from a [[ActionGirl no-nonsense warrior woman]]:
-->'''Jehnna:''' Suppose you set your heart on somebody. What would you do to get him?\\
'''Zula:''' ''Grrrab him!'' And ''take him!''
* In ''Film/BusStop'', loosely based on the play of the same name by William Inge, ManChild Bo (Creator/DonMurray) falls head over heels for Cheri (Creator/MarilynMonroe) when he sees her singing in a saloon, and when she resists his immediate impulse to get married, literally lassoes her onto his bus going back to Montana. She continues trying to get away from him, but gradually her feelings toward him soften.

* Part of Darko Kerim's backstory in the original ''Literature/JamesBond'' novel ''Literature/FromRussiaWithLove''. 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 "[[Literature/TheSilenceOfTheLambs 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.

* In the bodice-ripper novel ''Rolling Thunder'', a white woman is kidnapped by the local Comanche tribe after going out to search for her brother, who was himself abducted by the tribe some time before. When she finds him, he tells her he was taken because the tribe's princess had fallen in love with him and demanded that he be brought to her. By now, he's blissfully happy and madly in love with her and they're expecting a baby. She herself plays this trope straight, falling in love with the Comanche prince.

* The Neathar, a culture of Neolithic NobleSavage tribes folk in TabletopGame/{{Mystara}}'s Hollow World, routinely abduct brides from neighboring Neathar tribes.

* In the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' games, Bowser's reasons for kidnapping Peach usually boil down to him having a crush on her.

* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'' Zidane kidnaps Garnet, only for him to start to like her. Garnet/Dagger, meanwhile, doesn't like him back until [[RescueRomance 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 [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen 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.

* This happens on Kenshin's route in ''VisualNovel/IkemenSengoku'', 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 [[TheFirstCutIsTheDeepest 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 [[{{Yandere}} he wanted to keep her close to him and away from everyone else]].

* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': In "Society of the Blind Eye", the gang runs past a display on "Romance in Settlers' Times", which involves a man carrying an angrily-struggling woman over his shoulder.

* ''Theatre/ThePiratesOfPenzance'' 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.)

* The wicked priests of King Noah in Literature/TheBookOfMormon 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 their (and their children) pleading with an army of Lamanites not to kill their husbands.

* In ''Bus Stop'', loosely based on the play of the same name by William Inge, ManChild Bo (Don Murray) falls head over heels for Cheri (Creator/MarilynMonroe) when he sees her singing in a saloon, and when she resists his immediate impulse to get married, literally lassoes her onto his bus going back to Montana. She continues trying to get away from him, but gradually her feelings toward him soften.

* This shows up in both the ''Literature/{{Ramayana}}'' and ''Literature/{{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 one of them, but the other two are left DefiledForever because Bhishma won't do the honorable thing and marry them (he's a CelibateHero who's taken a vow).

* ''Manga/AirGear'' has a fairly benevolent example when Yayoi kidnaps her {{Love Interest|s}} 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 [[TrainingFromHell running himself ragged.]] Given [[AxCrazy he's]] [[OOcIsSeriousBusiness fairly calm]] about the whole deal, it's implied he agrees.
* In ''Manga/AnatoliaStory'', Yuri's small stature makes it unfortunately easy for lustful men to pick her up and run off with her. Ramses in particular makes multiple attempts to forcibly take her to Egypt to be his bride.

* In ''Comicbook/ElfQuest'', Cutter originally abducts Leetah under the influence of the [[MindlinkMates 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. [[spoiler:They get things straightened out and end up HappilyMarried, which is less creepy than usual because Cutter wasn't in his right mind at the time of the abduction.]]

She proceeds to epically chew them out and refuse to return to the team, opting to join the ComicBook/XMen instead.

* The reference to the Sabine women (and the [[TruthInTelevision ancient accepted practice of bride-kidnapping]] among conquering civilizations) makes this OlderThanFeudalism. In the Roman story, Romulus realized that the band of settlers on the hills of Rome was awful short on women, so he took it upon himself to invite the nearby Sabine people to a big festival (according to most myths, a footrace). At his signal, each Roman picked a Sabine woman and ran off with her. In general, they turned out to be OK with it eventually. By the time the war with the Sabines (and the other nations who had been defeated by this point) had reached the Capitoline, the warring fathers were now grandfathers. The fighting finally ended in the marsh between the Capitoline and Palatine Hills, where the daughters rushed out with children and begged for them to stop. This is usually referred to as "the rape of the Sabine women", but the original meaning of "rape" was just "to seize or carry off" (from Latin ''rapere'') and doesn't necessarily mean anything other than that (though it often did imply sexual violence, which is how the word acquired its current meaning). Livy, who wrote Rome's history under Augustus, claimed that the Roman men won the Sabine women's hearts with blandishments and PuppyDogEyes before laying a hand on them.

* Played with in ''Manga/{{Sekirei}}''. The bond between a Sekirei and their Ashikabi is normally the result of [[RedStringOfFate destiny]] bringing them together, but it is entirely possible to create a [[AMagicContractComesWithAKiss bond]] by force. Two of the major villains built armies this way, capturing and winging Sekirei against their will -- one {{Mook|s}} describes the process as "taming" them.

Interestingly, the two villains have completely different relationships with their harems -- Higa's Sekirei are treated as disposable servants, while Mikogami's are PrettyFreeloaders that treat him affectionately. [[spoiler:In the finale, Higa loses the majority of his Sekirei while ''all'' of Mikogami's Sekirei choose him as their Ashikabi again]].

[[spoiler:Over the next month, Mutsuki plays along with him and even begins to feel some sympathy after learning about his FreudianExcuse... but ends up snapping and killing Torso in a blind rage]].

* ''Manga/FoodWars'': In the final arc, Asahi Saiba tries to invoke this on Erina Nakiri when his attempts to court her don't work. Not that it does him any good anyway because it only makes her hate him even more, [[spoiler:and they're none the wiser that they're actually ''[[SurpriseIncest half-siblings]]''.]]

* The infamous issue #200 of ''Comicbook/TheAvengers'', where Comicbook/MsMarvel learns she was kidnapped, brainwashed, and raped... and we're supposed to see this as a good thing. A year later her creator Creator/ChrisClaremont fought back in ''Avengers 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. She proceeds to epically chew them out and refuse to return to the team, opting to join the X-Men instead.

* In ''[[http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/firebird/stories/direach.html MacIain Direach]]'', [=MacIain=] Direach must kidnap the princess to break a spell, so he lures her on shipboard and sails off before she realizes, but she reacts quickly.

* In ''[[http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/firebird/stories/birdgrip.html The Bird Grip]]'', the princess's feelings are not touched on until his brothers kill the prince who abducted her, but then she weeps bitterly.

* GenderFlipped in the 1926 ''Eve's Leaves''. The titular character is a [[PirateGirl pirate]] who abducts a guy named Bill Stanley, partly out of infatuation, and partly to gather more crewmen to serve on her father's ship when Chinese bandits attack.

* ''Literature/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'' 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.
* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire''

* ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'': ''Literature/TheCourtshipOfPrincessLeia'' has Han abduct Leia when he thinks he's been outclassed by an attractive, fabulously wealthy PrinceCharming who's courting her. [[spoiler:(Unlike most examples of this trope, she eventually marries him.)]]

* In ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'', 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|Guy}} who expect the wedding party to be ''very'' enthusiastic in proving their intentions -- one bride leaves her beloved quite concussed for the wedding.

* The reference to the Sabine women (and the [[TruthInTelevision ancient accepted practice of bride-kidnapping]] among conquering civilizations) makes this OlderThanFeudalism. In the Roman story, Romulus realized that the band of settlers on the hills of Rome was awful short on women, so he took it upon himself to invite the nearby Sabine people to a big festival (according to most myths, a footrace). At his signal, each Roman picked a Sabine woman and ran off with her. In general, they turned out to be OK with it eventually.

Livy, who wrote Rome's history under Augustus, claimed that the Roman men won the Sabine women's hearts with blandishments and puppy dog eyes before laying a hand on them.

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 ArrangedMarriage she finds unpleasant, but there may be other reasons. Her family will probably [[PapaWolf still want her back]], though -- or at least have a satisfactory explanation for what happened.

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 [[SlapSlapKiss grow tired of beating on you and start to find you strangely attractive.]]

* In the beginning of ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'', Hayate kidnaps Nagi aiming for ransom money to pay off his parents' debts, only for Nagi to think that he loved her.
* ''LightNovel/{{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 [[spoiler:Shinra]] for business purposes and not out of love.

* In ''Comicbook/ElfQuest'', Cutter originally abducts Leetah under the influence of the [[MindlinkMates 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. [[spoiler:They get things straightened out and end up HappilyMarried, which is less creepy than usual because Cutter wasn't in his right mind at the time of the abduction.]]

** Han kidnaps Leia to prevent her 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.

* In ''Stara Baśń'' by Józef Ignacy Kraszewski, Doman tries to carry Dziwa away during Kupala Night, after his marriage offer is refused. Unfortunately for him, she actually puts up a fight and ends up wounding him badly with his own sword. [[spoiler:He tries again, at the very end, and this time actually succeeds.]]

* ''Theatre/ThePiratesOfPenzance'' 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.)

* In the ''Animation/PangPond'' episode "[=PangPond=] in Love 2", a Chinese girl named Mei visits Mahasanook Village and develops such an intense crush on [=PangPond=] that she goes as far as to drag her back to her country so he can be with her. Unsurprisingly, the boy isn't pleased and would rather stay in Mahasanook Village.

* In the ''Animation/PangPond'' episode "[=PangPond=] in Love 2", a Chinese girl namec Mei visits Mahasanook Village and develops such an intense crush on [=PangPond=] that she goes as far as to drag her back to her country so he can be with her. Unsurprisingly, the boy isn't pleased and would rather stay in Mahasanook Village.
