Read a random definition: Truth in Lending Act

A quick definition of manstealing:

Manstealing is another word for kidnapping. It means taking someone away by force or trickery. In the past, it also meant taking someone to another country. Kidnapping is a serious crime and can be punished by law. Sometimes, people kidnap children to take them away from their parents. This is called child-kidnapping. Another type of kidnapping is when someone demands money in exchange for the person they have taken. This is called kidnapping for ransom. If a parent takes their child away without permission from the other parent, it is called parental kidnapping. Simple kidnapping is when someone is taken away without any other bad things happening to them.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Manstealing is another term for kidnapping. It refers to the act of forcibly taking someone away by force or fraud.

At common law, manstealing was the crime of abducting a person from their own country and sending them to another. This offense was considered false imprisonment aggravated by moving the victim to another country. However, under modern statutes, the asportation (the act of carrying away) need not be this extensive.

Examples of kidnapping include:

  • Aggravated kidnapping: Kidnapping accompanied by some aggravating factor, such as a demand for ransom or injury of the victim.
  • Child-kidnapping: The kidnapping of a minor, often without the element of force or fraud.
  • Kidnapping for ransom: The offense of unlawfully seizing a person and then confining them, usually in a secret place, while attempting to extort ransom.
  • Parental kidnapping: The kidnapping of a child by one parent in violation of the other parent's custody or visitation rights.
  • Simple kidnapping: Kidnapping not accompanied by an aggravating factor.

For example, if someone kidnaps a child and demands a ransom from their parents, it would be considered kidnapping for ransom. If a parent takes their child away from the other parent without permission, it would be considered parental kidnapping.

Overall, manstealing or kidnapping is a serious crime that involves taking someone away against their will. It can have severe consequences for both the victim and the perpetrator.
