No, this is not just cultural, it has its roots in Islam. Muhammad and his companions frequently had slaves whom they also married… See Qur’an Sura 4:24

‘Mum kept son’s wife prisoner for 13 years’
By Stephen White 27/05/2008 – Mirror.co.uk
A woman has appeared in court charged with keeping her daughter-in-law prisoner for 13 years.
Naseebah Bibi, 62, allegedly forced Nagina Akhtar to work at an industrial sewing machine for 15 hours a day. She is also accused of locking up her second daughter-in-aw Nisbah Akhtar, who eventually managed to escape after two years.
Her son and Nisbah’s husband Nadeen Akhtar, 30, is charged with false imprisonment and assaulting his wife. The court heard both victims were beaten regularly and under constant guard at the terraced house.
[Islam strikes again! See Qu’ran Sura 4:34.]
The women’s alleged ordeal only came to light after Nagina was allowed out of the home to pick up her son from school.
Teachers are said to have become suspicious and alerted social services.
When Nisbah escaped, she apparently did not know which way to run and had to ask an Asian woman for help.
Defence lawyer Basharat Ditta said: “These are cultural issues within the community in which they live. At one stage it was indicated they would not be prosecuted after the issues were explained at the police station.”
[Yeah, right! There goes that all too predictable PC spin! As if Islam isn’t also to blame… It is a cultural AND religious issue, idiot. But, even if it wasn’t, there is still no justification for such atrocities in today’s modern world. Nice try, jackass.]
