Forced marriage of a boy/male

(Querist) 11 December 2012 This query is : Resolved 
What if a male/boy (Adult) is getting married forcibly (say on a gun point) to an unknown girl which he never met?
Suppose, a boy is visiting his cousins marriage and someone kidnaps him and after a couple of days he returns home with 7-8 people accompanying him saying that he is married to this girl, they threatens the boy's family to accept the same and leave the couple over there.

I just wanted to know what are the laws to deal with such an unwanted thing. What should the boy do after returning home if he is not able to accept all this?

Thanks in advance.

There is multiple violation of IPC in such cases.

Such marriages take place in those areas where dowry demand is so open and rampant that people find it cheaper to hire goons for executing marriage.

This seems imaginary story and if the same hapens, make complaint to police.

Presume that it is a hypotheticl query. Any forceful actions could be nullified through course of law.
Guest (Expert) 11 December 2012
Hypothetical query in the absence of proper details and background.

A simple question arises, what did the boy or his parents/siblings do after he was kidnapped, married and released? Also did the participants of marriage ceremony remain silent spectators and did not do anything to help him, when the boy was kidnapped before their eyes by someone?

So, let the supposition remain merely a supposition.

These is no such tradition in either of the tribes in Bihar rather this is purely a hypothetical query having no base at all.

Dear All

Thanks for the reply. May be my wording, to explain the situation, is wrong like word kidnap, may be there's a better word. But the scenario could be similar to that.

When it comes to concocted, hypothetical or imaginary case, let me tell you that such things happen in our Great India. It had happened in past, I personally know 1-2 persons who had gone through this, but that is very past. That's the reason for raising this query.

I just wanted to know if one can easily get rid of such a situation or it takes a hell lot of long term legal procedures.

Thanks again.

What to talk of past which is neither in present and may also not arise in future then why to raise such issues on public platform and waste the valuable time of experts?

Your own statement that --

"When it comes to concocted, hypothetical or imaginary case, let me tell you that such things happen in our Great India. It had happened in past, I personally know 1-2 persons who had gone through this, but that is very past. THAT's THE REASON FOR RAISING THIS QUERY" --

-- reveals that it was not your real problem, but you just tried to concoct an imaginary scene, for which the experts are not here to waste time, as it is just a mockery of this forum. You may be having time to waste, but not us, who are providing free voluntary service to the needy people. I can't resist deploring your wasteful efforts to waste the valuable time of the community members.

Mind it, if you continue putting such type of imaginary queries, the experts at some time, would desist from replying your queries, even on your real problem, if you happen to face at any time in future.

What and when happens in what way cannot be inagined or anticipated like that, as you think. Nobody commits a crime according to your plans. You will have to apply your own mind at such a critical juncture in view of the circumstances of the situation to get rid of such a situation, if that happens to you.

Please don't make any such effort to unnecessarily and criminally kill others time in future.

I think everyone here felt that I am wasting their time, I am sorry for that, but it was not intended.

The guy known to me recently told how he got married. As I said its past, all this happened around 35 years back but he accepted the same and is living happily at present.

It was my curiosity to know the applicable laws in such cases and that led me to post this query. May be its a wrong place and wrong manner to ask such queries. I will never put up questions related to past happenings that are rare in nature.

Sorry again for wasting your valuable time. :(
Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 12 December 2012
What is the use to ask about a question which was in existence about 35 years ago? There is no relevance of that situation as on day. This is nothing but a wastage of valuable time of experts and site.
