KNOW ABOUT ABDUCTION LAW IN SCOTLAND
Reader's Digest, 1984, in their book, You And Your Rights, An A to Z Guide to the Law in Scotland, outlines that,
Attempting to force someone to do anything against his or her will
Carrying off any person against their will, or detaining someone against their will without valid authority is a felony.
It is illegal to unlawfully deprive someone of their personal liberty, and if you are caught doing this, you will most likely be arrested and/or fined.
Ransom demands are often made on family or associates of the victim in order to secure the release of the individual.
Abduction, however, for whatever reason is a crime. It is an act of abduction if a man forcefully takes his wife from the location where she wants to remain.
The removal of a girl under the age of 12 or a boy under the age of 14 from their parents is an example of the crime of theft.
