Its obviously not done literally in modern cultures. It would easily be prevented by law enforcement.
But it definitely isn't hard to believe that it was done (and is done is tribal and nongovernmental cultures) many years ago, especially since girls in, for example, medieval ages were ripe for marriage in their early to mid teens, when they were likely to resist suitors and cling to their mothers.
