In the Sudanese Latuka tribe, when a man wants to marry a woman, he kidnaps her. Elderly members of his family 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.
The Latukas inhabited the mountainous landscape of Gondokoro on the upper Nile , the Southern Sudan, Torit District, eastern Equatoria Province.
