Author(s) SHIRIN, SUMIT KUMAR
Country India
Abstract There is a new trend arising among the villages of Bihar which is to abduct the Groom. The Grooms are abducted under gun points by the bride's family and are made to marry under force or threatening. Due to forced marriage practices, the women's married at an early and young age, so they never are independent and are not given enough time by their family to develop their skill or opportunity for self-dependent. Other-hand dowry and property were a huddle for women's lives, the patriarchal society introduced these practices for their benefit, but these practices of dowry became cursed for women's life. The study of forced marriage is not only an exercise study of marriage that is unorthodox and taboo in India, but it has a larger economic, social, political, etc. The issue of forced marriage is a very taboo subject from rural India through which we can enrich the understanding of gender politics, body politics, bio-politics and its intersection with the economic, political, social and cultural aspects that play a part in such rituals and events.
Keywords Child marriage, Forced Marriage, Dowry, Domestic violence, Elopement and Sexual Harassment.
