1 00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:07,320 And in fact, Prashant is the next speaker, and he will be speaking about legal categories, 2 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:14,310 approaches and responses to kidnapping and forced marriages in early modern morality documents. 3 00:00:14,310 --> 00:00:24,350 So Prashant, please go ahead. Hello, everyone. 4 00:00:24,350 --> 00:00:28,460 Today's paper is one of the subsections of my this third chapters. 5 00:00:28,460 --> 00:00:41,380 The title is legal categories, approaches and responses to kidnapping and forced marriages in early modern monarchy documents. 6 00:00:41,380 --> 00:00:46,600 This paper uncovers crime and violence against women, particularly kidnappings and forced marriages, 7 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:53,690 and investigates the partial governments approaches and responses to such claims, as well as the legal case it is used to political need them. 8 00:00:53,690 --> 00:00:56,150 Although kidnapping still committed for different reasons, 9 00:00:56,150 --> 00:01:04,000 abduction for the purpose of forced marriage was most common for which the documents exclusively examined the state documents, 10 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,600 which examined non-Prime instantly to record the intent of that. 11 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:13,960 However, the paper believes that some of these abductions were committed for sexual abuse and forced marriages. 12 00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:17,470 The paper also believes that some of these kidnappings could also be elopement. 13 00:01:17,470 --> 00:01:23,920 But the government did not acknowledge women's Stevenage in seeing the first piece duties patriarchal biomedical approach under 14 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:31,690 which women were seen as incapable of independent actions and must have been tricked into such situations by Lucas or Muslim men, 15 00:01:31,690 --> 00:01:38,770 which is nowadays known as love jihad. Hence, it is possible that cases of elopement would also be categorised, 16 00:01:38,770 --> 00:01:45,760 recorded and contested through the same terminologies of abductions and would merely hold single men responsible. 17 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:54,820 The sources the paper analyses both unpublished Marathi language manuscript and published merger documents often published. 18 00:01:54,820 --> 00:01:59,260 I'm using vantage models that is provincial revenues and a subsection of the state 19 00:01:59,260 --> 00:02:04,030 of the page from which am a specifically chosen name from the published documents. 20 00:02:04,030 --> 00:02:12,100 I'm using the selection from the Satara. Yes, and the page was daddy's selection from the Bishop of the Bishop, 21 00:02:12,100 --> 00:02:17,260 calling some geographic particular documents discussed in analytical thought Emberson 22 00:02:17,260 --> 00:02:23,770 Saddams book and documents discussed in the appendix to this book methodology. 23 00:02:23,770 --> 00:02:32,260 In addition to probing political and social rationales which might have influenced the formation and content of the modern documents, 24 00:02:32,260 --> 00:02:38,230 the paper also uses etymological methodological investigate and highlight how specific 25 00:02:38,230 --> 00:02:43,660 lexical categories and other classifications embedded in a wide range of Marathi, 26 00:02:43,660 --> 00:03:00,680 but never. Saudi. Lexical cardigans and other classifications embedded in a wide range of Typekit never stable and 27 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:06,980 their meanings due to dividing usages in the crimes and politics of the government and communities. 28 00:03:06,980 --> 00:03:14,810 There are multiple categories used for denoting addiction, but the most frequent are the need to lend cottony, 29 00:03:14,810 --> 00:03:21,030 which, as we can see on the slaves, have multiple meanings depending on the context. 30 00:03:21,030 --> 00:03:28,700 I think my radio is one second. No, it's fine, you're visible on your real screen is visible. 31 00:03:28,700 --> 00:03:34,380 So yeah, there are multiple categories used for the objection, but the most frequent item, 32 00:03:34,380 --> 00:03:40,740 namely in Putney, which as you can see on the slide, have multiple meanings depending on the context. 33 00:03:40,740 --> 00:03:45,540 When used in crimes committed against women, they would most likely mean the seising grasping, 34 00:03:45,540 --> 00:03:49,930 keeping or taking away the guns and making of it of the concerned woman. 35 00:03:49,930 --> 00:03:55,830 However, these categories, particularly the bottom three, do not reveal any force or violence. 36 00:03:55,830 --> 00:03:59,370 So if written alone, the true meaning could be ambiguous. 37 00:03:59,370 --> 00:04:07,530 The government sometimes if I take this job on this jury, which brought me in for simply meeting drinking or for loving me, 38 00:04:07,530 --> 00:04:11,160 which is scheduling with these terms to specify that children, 39 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:19,260 it is noticeable that the categories above this but only used in those cases where women working there for the purpose of forced marriages, 40 00:04:19,260 --> 00:04:24,120 then no purpose was recorded. Their documents use the categories on the slide alone. 41 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:30,240 Therefore, it is important to investigate these documents very carefully to probe whether they were kidnappings or 42 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:36,060 if they were in documents disguised as kidnappings to protect Brighton purity and cost newly discovered. 43 00:04:36,060 --> 00:04:40,050 This paper has two sections the countryside and the capital city, 44 00:04:40,050 --> 00:04:48,630 each revealing crime and violence against women and how the government's responses differed in the respective areas. 45 00:04:48,630 --> 00:04:53,390 It's. The. 46 00:04:53,390 --> 00:04:58,850 I would begin with the countryside. I would begin with those objections committed for the purpose of. 47 00:04:58,850 --> 00:05:05,180 This is Brahmins could perform a traditional marriage and then others, why would they kidnap a bride? 48 00:05:05,180 --> 00:05:09,950 The possible explanation for this might have been a shortage of gays in the community due to the 49 00:05:09,950 --> 00:05:15,860 page was enforcement of plastic partitions and then possibility for comments and scrutinised goods. 50 00:05:15,860 --> 00:05:21,590 Put that aside money which might have led parents to abandon little children. 51 00:05:21,590 --> 00:05:26,400 There are multiple documents regarding comments of various value cars while selling their daughters, 52 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,720 also suggesting a shortage of females in the community. 53 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:37,790 Additionally, since governments knew that under such enforcement, divorce was denied and that regardless of the severity of the crime, 54 00:05:37,790 --> 00:05:42,530 they would not be penalised severely, such marriages might have been further encouraged. 55 00:05:42,530 --> 00:05:47,750 My sources also reveal that in such abductions, only common girls below the age of six were kidnapped, 56 00:05:47,750 --> 00:05:51,560 for which the possible reason was the prevalence of prepubescent marriage. 57 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,980 Amongst Brahmins, which goes above the age of nine to 10, 58 00:05:54,980 --> 00:06:01,310 would most likely be already creating a high demand for bribes at any age and the shortage of Siemens, 59 00:06:01,310 --> 00:06:06,170 which would surely increase the likelihood of kidnappings of the female children. 60 00:06:06,170 --> 00:06:13,760 Has the paper also asserts that the the page was pursuit of chastity traditions and carries crime and violence against women. 61 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:19,400 Although there are many documents, I will discuss a few of them due to the time limitations since, 62 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:25,160 according to the cost of a flip of one, marriage could not be dismissed. The page was first guns and incest. 63 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,420 Civil claims was to investigate whether the marriage ceremony was fully performed. 64 00:06:29,420 --> 00:06:35,360 Instead of focussing on the crime itself. Hence, although the government were to scrutinise the offenders, 65 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:41,130 it would not dismiss such marriages performed fully as can be seen in the following cases. 66 00:06:41,130 --> 00:06:48,570 When Trimble stole the gold harvest, four year old daughter by treating her for the purpose of meeting the town children, 67 00:06:48,570 --> 00:06:59,520 the Basemark Breust by the maternal grandfather or maternal grandfather of the girl investigated say whether the marriage was both fully fleshed, 68 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,480 but with the resolution was scrutinised for performing the marriage. 69 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:11,940 Then the villagers and afterwards the assembly of the concerned police all concluded that the marriage was not performed fully and as we can see, 70 00:07:11,940 --> 00:07:14,310 all that were involved but penalised. 71 00:07:14,310 --> 00:07:21,090 The government specifically recorded that such husbandry was sentenced in this case to decrypt the means from committing such crimes, 72 00:07:21,090 --> 00:07:25,440 suggesting that such incidences were increasingly common in marriages. 73 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:31,740 Women's agency was always compromised, but the rest was stuck in their hands in all these forced marriages. 74 00:07:31,740 --> 00:07:38,310 The major issue was the compromise of the insurgency, insurgency tactics, and therefore Ben said, I should not lose. 75 00:07:38,310 --> 00:07:42,590 Office of the niece was dismissed for forcibly taking off the statute books, 76 00:07:42,590 --> 00:07:51,330 but by injuring a name and marrying her to remember how he negotiated with the father of the girl by giving him ornaments worth 1000 rupees. 77 00:07:51,330 --> 00:07:59,040 The page was reappointed in his previous pension. However, the patient did not consider dismissing the marriage at any point since. 78 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,850 According to the documents, most of the perpetrators were the local officials. 79 00:08:02,850 --> 00:08:09,150 It would not be difficult for them to negotiate with the victim's parents, either forcibly finance your book. 80 00:08:09,150 --> 00:08:14,070 Therefore, this kind of approach of allowing the perpetrators to retrospectively negotiate 81 00:08:14,070 --> 00:08:18,120 with the parents would surely encourage crime and violence against women. 82 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:24,450 Since those cases in which they managed to negotiate with the families before they made the complaint went unrecorded. 83 00:08:24,450 --> 00:08:29,640 We only know about those cases in which they feel as can be seen in the next days on the beach. 84 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:36,240 Mumbai, as you, coupled with these assistant, apprehended Madhav and his wife and beat them to convince them to marry their 85 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:42,090 three year old daughter to bring down the intruder inside who was fortified. 86 00:08:42,090 --> 00:08:49,290 However, the parents did not agree, as the daughter had not least marriageable age as the look with his assistance need 87 00:08:49,290 --> 00:08:53,580 them again until the parents became unconscious when they came to their senses. 88 00:08:53,580 --> 00:08:56,250 They were told that the marriage had been performed. 89 00:08:56,250 --> 00:09:03,960 The patient approached by the father as the commodities drove the time to probe whether the marriage was celebrated, according to the Rich List. 90 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,250 And if it was not, 91 00:09:05,250 --> 00:09:14,430 how should be allowed to marry his daughter to one other person whenever he wanted the commodities that was also us to fight for love in this. 92 00:09:14,430 --> 00:09:18,930 We can see that in the last two, as well as other cases, which I could not discuss, 93 00:09:18,930 --> 00:09:23,850 these local officials mostly kidnap girls for other men, not for them. 94 00:09:23,850 --> 00:09:30,630 So suggesting that they were possibly employed in a trade where there is these abductions and marriages for other companies who paid them to do so, 95 00:09:30,630 --> 00:09:31,880 for example, in this case, 96 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:39,990 going all the way that the Deshmukh's what is the marriage for such two and is different supports that argument that there was a shortage of women's 97 00:09:39,990 --> 00:09:45,750 empowerment as a 45 year old was still unmarried or might be widowed and was so 98 00:09:45,750 --> 00:09:50,670 eager to marry that he would even consider a three year old female child does. 99 00:09:50,670 --> 00:09:56,940 It can be said that the enforcement of plastic tradition, such as dowry, which caused a shortage of females. 100 00:09:56,940 --> 00:10:02,580 Then I saw the dismissal of marriage and not punishing becoming seriously and the government's responsible approach 101 00:10:02,580 --> 00:10:09,870 when it allowed perpetrators to negotiate with the families and commence to kidnap girls and perform forced marriages. 102 00:10:09,870 --> 00:10:17,100 The fact that the patient chief justice had to penalise companies very severely in the not states to set an example. 103 00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:20,460 So there is no way I will discuss those cases. 104 00:10:20,460 --> 00:10:23,580 Those documents do not record the purpose of the kidnapping, 105 00:10:23,580 --> 00:10:29,250 and the male examined on its alleged comments were mostly of the information non-communist, 106 00:10:29,250 --> 00:10:37,480 according to the available documents, mostly abducted married. Therefore, it is less likely that they were kidnapped for forced marriage. 107 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:42,820 The purpose of the kidnapping could either be sexual desire or the abuse, but women's trafficking, however, 108 00:10:42,820 --> 00:10:48,700 has said above some of these incidences could be documents or the result of extramarital relationships, 109 00:10:48,700 --> 00:10:53,590 where they both decided to decided to flee or live together in the men's hopes. 110 00:10:53,590 --> 00:11:01,600 When kidnappings involve sexual abuse, it is possible that the government did not record this topic to preserve ideals of pride and duty. 111 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,710 And when kidnappings may have been consensually, don't mention the category of abduction. 112 00:11:05,710 --> 00:11:10,780 Was it still used as a government did not acknowledge women's deviant agents in the first place? 113 00:11:10,780 --> 00:11:13,210 This was due to a spectacular medical approach, 114 00:11:13,210 --> 00:11:21,730 and British women were considered incapable of making such decisions of loving and eloping with the men belonging to a different religion, 115 00:11:21,730 --> 00:11:30,130 as they must have been forced scheduled. Putting into love by the concerned men for possibly just going into this was the notion of love. 116 00:11:30,130 --> 00:11:31,730 Jihad remains the same patriarchal, 117 00:11:31,730 --> 00:11:38,800 consistent approach by not crediting women with the intelligence to make informed decisions solely blaming them for me. 118 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,490 In fact, the documents chronicling adultery between men, 119 00:11:42,490 --> 00:11:49,780 women and lower class or Muslim men only recalled the men's scrutiny and penalties, but do not mention anything about the involvement, 120 00:11:49,780 --> 00:11:56,860 except their name constantly suggesting that they might have been the victims of honour killings and community justice, 121 00:11:56,860 --> 00:12:03,730 which possibly went underground. This further suggests that even if women would go with such men consensually, 122 00:12:03,730 --> 00:12:10,930 the language would exclusively hold the involvement responsible and the case would be contested and correct through the categories of conviction, 123 00:12:10,930 --> 00:12:22,810 as can be seen in the following cases. The nephew of Juanita says he sees the two men seriously and was running of the 124 00:12:22,810 --> 00:12:29,130 jungle a bad one and then taken away the slimmest of blood without nearly, 125 00:12:29,130 --> 00:12:37,050 Nkosi said those stuck and ran away with the life of a Stormbreaker fellow nearly in all the cases they attempted to flee with the consent agreement, 126 00:12:37,050 --> 00:12:39,900 and the legal categories do not reveal any force writing, 127 00:12:39,900 --> 00:12:48,390 suggesting that they may be elopement and the result of an extramarital relationship as they started double duty, not due to not recognising the list. 128 00:12:48,390 --> 00:12:53,760 Even they didn't see the language exclusively who was the man responsible as they were the ones penalised. 129 00:12:53,760 --> 00:13:00,060 However, sometimes women were also penalised for. The noticeable thing is that the language still blames the men. 130 00:13:00,060 --> 00:13:06,660 This shows that women were penalised without even being considered and recorded as responsible for the crime as can be seen in months. 131 00:13:06,660 --> 00:13:12,810 In this case, who was a facilitator and kept up on police life in his house have. 132 00:13:12,810 --> 00:13:21,390 It killed her husband and buried him in his house, for which he was dismissed from his office and then imprisoned and the woman's nose was severed. 133 00:13:21,390 --> 00:13:26,700 Since the used category does not reveal any type of force and the woman was also punished, 134 00:13:26,700 --> 00:13:30,810 it was most likely a matter of an extramarital relationship where she left her as her 135 00:13:30,810 --> 00:13:36,150 husband and began to live with Mansingh and Rennet husband went after they both killed him. 136 00:13:36,150 --> 00:13:41,700 To support this, I have found many cases where women with the help of their lovers kill their husbands. 137 00:13:41,700 --> 00:13:49,830 Even the English code of that can also state that extramarital relationship was one of the main reasons of men's homicide as women, 138 00:13:49,830 --> 00:13:57,910 as the lovers to kill their husbands. Her punishment was generally sentenced to women when they had any non normative 139 00:13:57,910 --> 00:14:02,530 sex or committed any acts impacting upon them as well as their families. 140 00:14:02,530 --> 00:14:06,760 And although my comment was only sentenced one time, however, 141 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:14,530 we can never be certain that a woman was at fault or the criminal agency was recognised, then issued a penalty. 142 00:14:14,530 --> 00:14:16,810 Since Sunday, sometimes 10 women were rescued. 143 00:14:16,810 --> 00:14:23,170 They were still considered polluted and dishonoured by simply believing that they might have been raped or sexually assaulted, 144 00:14:23,170 --> 00:14:28,210 as can be seen in such limited use case whose daughter was kidnapped and then, when rescued, 145 00:14:28,210 --> 00:14:37,390 was asked to clarify persons when a Muslim man who was a Polish minister was kept man's life in his house. 146 00:14:37,390 --> 00:14:42,040 But ultimately, he was seised and trampled by an elephant food like. 147 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:49,300 In the case of months, the document uses the category cottony, which does not clarify whether it was kidnapping or next to my convictions. 148 00:14:49,300 --> 00:14:54,580 However, as said above, even if she left her husband and began to live with him by choice, 149 00:14:54,580 --> 00:14:59,110 the government would not recognise it capable of making this decision by herself. 150 00:14:59,110 --> 00:15:06,610 Instead, she must have been tricked or scheduled by the concerned Muslim men who convert to Islam and dishonour the community. 151 00:15:06,610 --> 00:15:13,080 Rather, it was an abduction, but consensual in either circumstance would be movie I was disbanded. 152 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:21,220 In either situation was an institutional polygamy, and such harsh punishment was sent as a warning to Muslim men. 153 00:15:21,220 --> 00:15:27,910 Conceding Sally's case, it is likely that the of common woman would also have had to undergo at least offenders. 154 00:15:27,910 --> 00:15:36,400 But this is not the capital city. 155 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:43,780 Although in the Taliban, there is a plethora of cases where men either tried to flee with the women or kept them in their houses. 156 00:15:43,780 --> 00:15:47,470 I will only discuss a few of them. There are two types of documents. 157 00:15:47,470 --> 00:15:56,500 Firstly, those in which the penalty being sentenced is solely to the male body, and secondly, those which either penalise both or only women. 158 00:15:56,500 --> 00:16:02,770 I will begin with those which exclusively penalise men, as can be seen on the slate. 159 00:16:02,770 --> 00:16:13,530 The cases of these men. Biology does not crumble, and Mubarak do not mention for how long or why they kept the women in their houses, 160 00:16:13,530 --> 00:16:16,870 neither if any sexual assault took place, 161 00:16:16,870 --> 00:16:24,120 although this is likely to be the primary reason if they were evictions, some of the categories used do not denote any type of force. 162 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:29,490 It is also possible that some of these cases could be consensual oppression. 163 00:16:29,490 --> 00:16:37,170 You have five minutes left, and you know, I will discuss those cases which either penalise both or only women. 164 00:16:37,170 --> 00:16:41,640 But like mine things, is this their language is still. 165 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:48,210 Only men and they use legal category got also the thing. Therefore, despite the male being described as at fault, 166 00:16:48,210 --> 00:16:51,870 the lack of recognition for women's criminal agents means that women were 167 00:16:51,870 --> 00:16:56,880 penalised without even being recorded or considered responsible for these crimes. 168 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:02,280 As we can see in the table of the three cases where women were kept in the men's 169 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:07,050 houses either vote for in prison or in the case of six hundred only the woman 170 00:17:07,050 --> 00:17:11,430 was even though the language yet again were solely the men responsible for 171 00:17:11,430 --> 00:17:15,810 showing the complete disregard of mistreatment in considering the punishment, 172 00:17:15,810 --> 00:17:19,470 and they used legal categories which do not reveal any type of force. 173 00:17:19,470 --> 00:17:23,700 It can be said that these incidents could also be consensual. 174 00:17:23,700 --> 00:17:30,120 If this is the case, it can also be said that the same categories, namely continuity of Indian etc, 175 00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:35,430 were used to record and examine both abductions and elopement for consensual acts, 176 00:17:35,430 --> 00:17:39,690 further showing the lexical categories were not stable and they were used for different 177 00:17:39,690 --> 00:17:45,000 purposes and meanings which coexisted due to the medical approach and politics of the state. 178 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:53,390 And this. To conclude, I would say informing the government either find or incarcerated people, including women, 179 00:17:53,390 --> 00:18:00,050 whereas in the countryside it rarely incarcerated people, and instead it mostly strengthens financial cost and ritual punishment, 180 00:18:00,050 --> 00:18:05,570 particularly to prominent severed on becoming women's knows this and put Muslims to death, 181 00:18:05,570 --> 00:18:10,160 showing the government's humanism as we do when they stated that the cost and actual 182 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,060 punishment was a product of the US because its enforcement by the government, 183 00:18:14,060 --> 00:18:15,500 even in so severe crimes, 184 00:18:15,500 --> 00:18:23,120 explicitly shows that criminal justice was not free from notions of purity and pollution that are from the US in both places, 185 00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:26,450 the government did not record the purpose of it was kidnapping, 186 00:18:26,450 --> 00:18:35,210 did not clarify whether it was a consensual act and neither if any sexual act took place but have to do to the same guns in society. 187 00:18:35,210 --> 00:18:44,930 Nevertheless, it is not possible to be certain about these cases, and they do find other documents providing the complete narrative of these episodes. 188 00:18:44,930 --> 00:18:52,410 Hence, the purpose of this paper, while revealing crime and violence committed against women and the government's patriarchal medical approach in 189 00:18:52,410 --> 00:18:58,490 response was to raise more questions than answers and providing different narratives to such an ambiguous document. 190 00:18:58,490 --> 00:19:03,740 It is possible that under the guise of kidnapping, a multitude of other divisions were covered. 191 00:19:03,740 --> 00:19:05,258 Thank.
