The oddest of cultures happen to come from Sudan. In Nigeria here Kidnapping is absolutely frowned upon and perpetrators are not treated kindly when caught but in Sudan, some tribes see this act as absolutely normal.

Could it be that we Africans have the strangest and bizarre of cultures? Well at least we have something called a culture. Some countries are quiet lost with their cultural identities;

See this excerpt I got from this site talking about this strange lifestyle;

Africans have very crazy methods of
approach to life especially marriage. There
are several unusual and weird cultures
around African which are even strange than
that of the Nigerian traditional marriage
norms.

There is a very weird tribe called the
Latwoka tribe in Sudan which has a very
funny tradition on marriage. If a young man
is old enough to get married, all he has to
do is kidnap whoever catches his eyes. If
the girls father agrees to the act, he beats
the young man on the back as a sign of
acceptance.

no i think they will because the average population of girls are bigger than guys....so no matter the kidnapping there will be more girls around the disadvantage is that as a father you may lost your child to the wrong man.
