Abstract
Every phenomenon or custom has a societal history attached to it, how it develops, how it becomes suitable to people in universal and why it continues even now. There are various traditions and customs, which thwart people from realizing that bride trafficking, is a crime. History speaks about various instances of traditions and customs which are similar to the crime of bride trafficking but because they are time immoral they have got certain level of acceptance by different societies. The custom, traditions and usages bring acceptability to any practice even per se the practice is illegal and same we can find in case of Bride price tradition.
