As far as I know, we Iranians have never had such an tradision. Yes, there have always been girls who were forced to marry, for example because the girl's family forced her to marry or the boy's family was rich and powerful, but it never had a tradition that someone goes and steals a girl from somewhere and marries her.

You never had war brides and concubines? 🤔 Doubt.

Such a tradition did not exist among Iranians themselves. For example, a village with an adjacent village, or a city with an adjacent city. But I know that at one time in history it was normal to have a slave girl from other countries.
