Ukuthwala is the South African term for bride kidnapping, the practice of a man abducting a young girl and forcing her into marriage, often with the consent of her parents. These "marriages by capture" occur mainly in rural parts of South Africa, in particular the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. The Basotho call it tjhobediso. Among the Xhosa and Zulu people, ukuthwala was once an acceptable way for two young people in love to get married when their families opposed the match (and so actually a form of elopement). Ukuthwala has been abused, however, "to victimize isolated rural women and enrich male relatives."

Embora a prática de possa ser rastreada até os tempos antigos, no entanto, os abduzidos costumam ser meninas menores de idade, incluindo algumas jovens como oito anos de idade. A prática recebeu publicidade negativa, com a mídia divulgando em 2009 que mais de 20 meninas do Cabo Oriental são forçadas a abandonar a escola todos os meses por causa do ukuthwala. (pt)
