Abstract of Presentation: Bride kidnapping: a tradition or a crime?
Bride kidnapping is among important social problems in modern Kyrgyzstan. The situation when a man kidnaps a woman for marriage is widespread, although officially it is treated as criminal offence according to the article 155 of Criminal Code of Kyrgyz Republic.
Studies by researcher Russell Kleinbach have found that approximately half of all Kyrgyz marriages include bride kidnapping; of those kidnappings, two thirds are non-consensual.
According to Gazzbubu Babayarova, founder of Kyz Korgon Institute, NGO campaigning for elimination of bride-kidnapping in Kyrgyzstan, between 68 and 75 percent of marriages in Kyrgyzstan take place with bride kidnapping. About fifty percent of such kind of marriages ends in divorce within the first year.
By many people in Kyrgyzstan bride kidnapping is estimated as a tradition. That’s why it is not easy to eliminate the problem today.
In one of the chapters of my research about customary law in family relations of Kyrgyz people I demonstrate that the tradition of bride kidnapping (“ala kachuu”) and modern practice are absolutely different.
And within my presentation named “Bride kidnapping: a tradition or a crime?” I am to explain the nature and the gist of the tradition of bride kidnapping and to demonstrate the difference between the tradition which existed in Kyrgyz history and absolutely unacceptable conduct, crime in reality, widespread in modern Kyrgyzstan.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. Bride Kidnapping in Kyrgyz Republic 1999, 2001 & 2004 by R. Kleinbach S. Amsler M. Ablezova M. Aitieva, M. Reeves
2. Bride Kidnapping in Kyrgyz Republic “ Ala-Kachuu” means “to take and run away.” Bride kidnapping is the act of abducting a woman to marry her. It includes a variety of actions ranging from consensual marriage to kidnapping and rape.
3.
4. Dr. Orunbaeva of Naryn helps to understand this. She points out that a Kyrgyz girl grows up without experiencing force being used against her. Now for the first time superstitious signs, and psychological, physical & sexual force are used against her. After hours or days she is tired, in shock and not ready to use physical and moral force to resist a group of mostly older women. When she agrees, all relatives are notified and a marriage celebration takes place in the following few days.
5. High school English students & teachers. Of 49 students in 2 groups, ½ of their mother’s had kidnap-marriages.

15. Conclusions: 1. The 1999 & 2001 data provided evidence that approximately 50% of ethnic Kyrgyz marriages were result of kidnappings. 2. The 2004 data showed that 80 % of ethnic Kyrgyz marriages in this village were the result of kidnappings . 3. The 1999 & 2001 data provided evidence that as many as 66% of these marriages were non-consensual. 4. The 2004 data showed that 57% of these marriages were non-consensual. We conclude that approximate 35-45% of ethnic Kyrgyz women were married against their will as a result of bride kidnapping.

17. The results raise serious questions about the impact of bride kidnapping on the rights of women, particularly those related to Article 16 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) , which asserts that “marriage shall be entered into only with the free and full consent of the intending spouses.”
18. It also violates Article 16 of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (1981), which states that "states parties shall take all appropriate measures to eliminate discrimination against women in all matters relating to marriage and family relations and in particular shall ensure, on a basis of equality of men and women: a) The same right to enter into marriage, and b) The same right freely to choose a spouse and to enter into marriage only with their free and full consent.”
19.
20. Non-consensual ala kachuu violates Article 155 of the Criminal code of Kyrgyz Republic , “Forcing a woman to marry or to continue a marriage or kidnapping her in order to marry without her consent, also standing in the way of marriage (impediment) is subject to punishment as a fine in the amount of 100 to 200 minimal wages per month or to imprisonment up to five years.”
24. Kidnapping Pledge of Resistance for Women “ Forcing a woman to marry . . . or kidnapping her in order to marry without her consent,” is a violation of the law of the Kyrgyz Republic, and a violation of her fundamental human rights of security, freedom and equality. Therefore, I pledge that if I am kidnapped for marriage, I will resist, with all my abilities, such a marriage. I pledge that I will use all existing laws to prosecute to the full extent possible, those people responsible for the kidnapping. I have informed my family of my intentions; They have agreed to support my decision. They have agreed to assist in my rescue from a kidnapping, and to refuse to give their consent or approval to a kidnapping. They have also agreed to assist me in prosecuting those persons responsible for the kidnapping. They have witnessed my signature of this statement and signed below as an affirmation of their agreement and support. I will add my name to a list of other women and men who have signed pledges of resistance to kidnapping for marriage without a woman’s consent. I do this to show support for the resistance movement and to make myself available to assist other women and men who need information or help. In the event that I wish to marry using the tradition of Ala Kachuu, it will be only if I have given my consent at least 10 days prior to the Ala Kachuu, and if I have participated in the planning of when and how the Ala Kachuu will take place.
