Oh, Mormons

[asterroc]

A 21-year old Mormon woman in Utah wanted to marry a man her parents disagreed with, so they did what any good Mormon parents should do. Under the guise of taking her shopping for the Garments, they kidnapped her and started driving her towards Colorado. The article isn't clear on how she escaped, but she's now pressed kidnapping charges apparently.

Oh, and she did get married to the guy in August, and is due in May, exactly 9 months later.

I dunno, I'm sure that Mormonism has a lot to do with it and they certainly used a good deal of religious rhetoric, but that kind of guilt trip is common for all sorts of parents to pull on their kids if the kids are marrying someone the parents don't approve of.
