Forced marriage is illegal and punishable in India. Yet it happens all too often in this country, especially with women, seen as a burden on some families that is only alleviated by marriage.
Although “love” marriages have been gaining popularity in India, most families continue to prefer arranged marriages, which allow bride and groom and parents to choose candidates based on factors such as caste, age, and social status.
