To elope, the two love each other, to live together while living in a situation where they are not allowed to be together, to escape together from their parents.
In the case of marriage or companionship being opposed by parents for reasons of identity or race, when one or both of them are married, parents are forced to marry unwanted, often times taken as a last resort.
The obstacles that can not be together can be a factor that more strongly links the two by the hero's effect of tragedy.
Most elope can not rely on parental assistance.
As a result, the lives of the two people often become economically difficult, and they can be brought back and sometimes lead to murder-suicides.
In the case of an elopement by a minor with a guardian on one or both sides, the criminal kidnapping for marriage purpose is applied under the Penal Code.
