Can a woman force a man to marry her?

Author: Subhasis Dutta Roy

A marriage is going on. See the face of the groom.

He is crying during his marriage. It is clearly shown on his face that he is not happy with his marriage.

This special type of marriage is very often done in certain parts of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.

It named is “Pakadwa Vivah”. Here Vinod Kumar, a junior manager at the Bokaro Steel Plant, was abducted plan fully by bride family for this marriage.

As per his statement, he went to attend a friend's marriage at Patna. An acquaintance offers him to drop him at Patna. He agreed. But that man normally asked him to go to his home as he wants some warm clothes for cold.

The other family members were there. They caught him. Then he was kept in a room. There he was threatened by bride brother and other family members.

He was also beaten and forcefully taken to marriage mandap. All the family members of the bride surrounded him so that he couldn't escape.

They conduct the whole marriage by taking Vinod Kumar into gunpoint. He cried but no one listening to him.

He said that all were well planned. It seemed to him as all the necessary things related to the marriage were previously accumulated at groom house.

Later Vinod Kumar informs all this to police, court and also to interviewed to news channel narrating the whole. He got his justice from the court.


The record says that this “Pakadwa Vivah” is now at it's growing stage in Bihar. About 3,405 youths have been kidnapped for forced marriage in the state.

According to the data, about 3,070 young eligible male were kidnapped for Pakadwa Vivah in the state in 2016, 3,000 in 2015 and 2,526 in 2014.[1]

I'll be honest; this is new for me! I've heard of bride kidnapping in other countries, which seems to be customary in that particular culture of the country, but I've never heard of "Pakadwa Vivah" before. Its strange, really! And people say India is a total patriarchy! Haha!! 😆

I have had a job for over a year, but before the end of the month, my wallet is always empty—literally, no savings for the future. My parents think I waste money unnecessarily.
