Milutin Milanković Married for Love

A recently published interesting article, "Vožd Karađorđe the most famous Serbian 'bride-snatcher'," discusses the formation of some marriages in Serbia in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It talks about the brutal snatching of brides without their consent and the consent of their families. One such abduction, carried out by Duke Pavle Cukić, was described in his famous "Pomenik" by Milan Đ. Milićević, a great historian of the 18th and 19th centuries in Serbia. Besides violent abductions, Milićević also describes another type – simulated abductions. Namely, when two young people fall in love and decide to marry, but do not have the consent of the bride's family, simulated abductions were performed, where several of the groom's friends, by agreement and with the bride's consent, would take the bride (runaway) to the groom's house at night. Violent abductions were forbidden by Miloš Obrenović and gradually fell into oblivion.
