Marriage… Some people love marriage i.e. the marriage of their choice, some love arranged marriage i.e. the marriage of their family’s choice, but in many places forced marriage also occurs. Do you know what this marriage is and where its trend began? In fact, since the 1980s and 1990s, brides and grooms have been kidnapped at gunpoint and forced to marry. This is a common practice in Bihar and this type of marriage has been called Pakdaua Shaadi.
People’s attitude towards Bihar changed. Earlier, this trapped marriage was more common among the people of Bhumihar and Rajput community. Later this practice was extended to all castes.
