Pakadwah Vivah Bihar|2380 Cases Registered In 2020; Nearly 2000 Recorded During Lockdown (Representation Image Only)

1.9k
VIEWS

Pakadwa Vivah, also known as forced marriage of men after abduction, is an old social problem in Bihar. The primary justification for this practice is demand for dowry.

Families of girls have been kidnapping suitable youths for forcible marriage. The relatives of a bride’s family often use friends and extended family, and sometimes even hire professional criminals, to carry out abductions for marriages.

Forced Marriages For Men During Lockdown

No reason can be valid for kidnapping any human and forcefully getting him/her married without consent. Shockingly, kidnappings of eligible grooms continued being reported from across the state of Bihar, even during the six months of COVID-19 induced lockdown.

Nearly two thousand cases of kidnapping were registered in different police stations in Bihar’s 38 districts between April and September 16, 2020 – the last day of lockdown.

As reported by The News Express, Niranjan Kumar (name changed), 20, was allegedly kidnapped in Begusarai district for marriage while Rupesh Kumar (name changed), 22, was kidnapped for marriage in Vaishali in 2020 amid the lockdown of COVID-19.

Among the long list of those kidnapped for marriages, the state police found that only seven of these cases were false.

  • 81 in April
  • 139 in May,
  • 305 in June

While taking and giving dowry is a crime in India, and rightly highlighted by media to curb the menace, the intimidation of young Men through the practice of Pakadwah Vivah hardly gets media attention. In most cases, even if these reports are published, they are coated with a layer of Anti-Dowry justification.

Men’s Rights are Human Rights and #MenToo have full right to choose their life partners. While feminists organisations focus so much on ‘consent’, sadly they never call out or highlight these cases of endless sufferings of the other Gender.

UP Police officer also tweeted the below on December 28, 2020, however, soon deleted the tweet from his timeline.
