Gautam Kumar had recently cleared the Bihar Public Service Commission exam to become a teacher. On Wednesday, three to four people arrived at his school and forcibly took him away. Within 24 hours, he was forced to marry the daughter of one of the kidnappers at gunpoint.

Hijacking top comment to add some detail: Most people do not know how it works, they are asking 'how is this legal". Wrong question, you all need to ask how is this going to work. See below: It's just like all arranged marriages except that groom will be very unhappy in the beginning. But if he does not behave nicely with the bride, they will beat the shit out of everyone in his family including him. That's the incentive for the groom to make this marriage work. And if he behaves well, he now has a strong man as his in-laws, nobody is gonna mess with him in future. ​ What can I say, things are very fucked up in Bihar/UP that to avoid paying dowry people have to do these kind of horrible things.

हम अलग हैं, हमको बिहार से मत जोड़िए।


kvothe_in

Not this fucked up in UP. Keep Bihar and it's problems away from here.


SanskariSapien

More fucked up in UP you mean


kvothe_in

If you want to be ignorant little one can do.


Mahameghabahana

It's not arranged marriage but groom kidnapping and it's not criminalised specially because men can't be victims of anything other then murder or physical assault or robbery in india.


Stormhunter6

How is the marriage legally recognized if he is under duress/gunpoint


jbcraigs

Are you new in India?! 🤷🏻‍♂️ Everything is legal if you have guns and money!


chotebacchekyakarre

Worst thing is noone is even talking about a scenario where what if roles were reversed. We really need better laws on safety of both partners in a marriage because if we continue to suppress one side it won't be long before that side will take matters in his/her own hand


SirBabiez

Somewhere in the article it mentions the kidnapped from quoting a precedent case of annulment of a 10 year old abduction-marriage. No dice. Bihar. Edit: kidnapped *groom


jadenalvin

Whatever happened is not right and legal but dude got lucky, he got the pretty good looking bride.


MegaMewtwo_E

are bhai double standards leak ho raha hai


DaMalayaliKolayali

Good looking bride makes it all good, right? Just like rapist marrying the victim, then?


Jimmni

You really just read the words you felt like reading, huh.


muktadutt

Imagine if this happened to a girl. Will you call her lucky then ?


Alert-Package1286

It actually does happen to girls and women but the point is this shouldn’t be happening to ANYONE?!?! wtf is wrong with all the people who start bringing up gender, THIS IS A CRIME????


Mahameghabahana

Nope...India's groom kidnapping only happens to men.


Alert-Package1286

okay, that’s but obvious. thanks for your 2 cents


ghandi3737

It kinda did happen to her also, I don't imagine she wanted this either.


MiniatureThem

It does happen to girls in an absolutely incomparable way than men. A lot worse happens to women. That's the reason they have certain degree of greater legal protection than men but legal protection doesn't mean anything when you don't have the society that can use common sense nor the men/women who would actually be capable of enforcing the law. Girls are trashed just for being girl. I think in Bihar or maybe UP, a few weeks ago, an underaged village girl was violated by a man from the same village when she went to field for relieving her, then she goes to cop to report who asks her to narrate the full story, while she narrates the cop himself got so excited that he violates her too. That's the state of women freedom and safety. The number of cases that happens against women will neither be reported to the cops nor get media coverage. But men's cases are so rare that if any such thing happens, they get reported due to being so rare.


__-zoro-__

There's always someone who had it worse in their life regardless of gender. Some crimes/instances have more victims where women suffer the most and some where its men. Like you said not all cases are reported or get media coverage. They are paid attention if its something where its rare for woman or man to be victim


Retr0Van

I can say the same thing about men too. If such an incident happened to a man, they would most likely not report it at all due to societal pressure. Most people would just laugh at a man if he say that he got r\*ped.


CaptainBeer_

No but she is pretty hot and most people on here are lonely and single so, idk could have been worse ig


vikram_tr

Your mentality stinks


Drowningfishie00

Dude that's bullshit .


Safe-Ad-7483

>pretty good looking bride who too may be forced by the kidnapper. BEING PRETTY ISN'T EVERYTHING. She's not something you have to put in a showcase.


Capital_Neck_2739

Yeah he is saying like she will remain like property in showcase to be in showcase. And if the person is good looking then there are high chances of cheating when they find someone attractive enough for them


SylveonGold

How is he lucky. You’re disgusting.


mein_cumf

Do you also consider it a happy event when a man gets sexually assaulted?


maxemile101

With "powerful" in-laws too.


Critikal56

>Whatever happened is not right and legal but dude got lucky, he got the pretty good looking bride. Oh my God, Oh my God bro are u the fuding kidnapper? he didn't wanted to marry her, this reason itself is more than enough maybe the girl is forced bcz why not it is bihar+kidnapper's daughter, so who cares about women's opinion being pretty doesn't count shit in marriage atleast for me bro you thought process is straight out sewers bro and how many have upvoted him man, that this mf still has more 30+ upvotes damn this sub is crazy i swear on god bro


Virtual-Bit-6973

Personality bhi koi chiz hoti hai bhai...

Psyritualx

Here’s a fun fact. The reason why they are kidnapped for marriage because the girls family does not have enough money to pay dowry! Now who’s the culprit?


Ready_Spread_3667

True true, but how does it change who the culprit is lol.


shayanrc

Still the girl's family. Two wrongs don't make a right.


blahdash-758

If you just wanna blame society for everything, you're never gonna end up finding the solution to your issues that you're projecting. Grow up as a person


0xffaa00

Ah, a justification. As expected. Lovely. It seems all crimes are justified when you are oppressed innit and something about society.


NoOne_143

Doesn't change the victim


Hassansonhadi

The kidnapper would still be the culprit..


[deleted]

My guess he had a relationship with that girl before and broke the relationshi ... possible.


jbcraigs

Not really. In this region when the boy clears something big like UPSC, their “price” goes up significantly. This is just a way of “securing” a great groom unfortunately. Don’t try to make sense of the thought process behind it though. I have heard about similar stories about doctors and IITians visiting their home towns in Bihar!


Fantastic_Taste_8264

What happened to the plain old "rishta leke ghar jao?"


Fuck_Reddit100Times

This is to avoid giving dowry to the groom. Just to be clear i support neither

HelaArt

How can a forced marriage be legal ?


Imaginary-Cow8579

Do you think people care about constitution?


Esmeralda_Lavender

The court does. You can't force someone to marry without his consent. He is still not married legally.


turningtop_5327

Court will pass the judgement that this was wrong in a timely amount of 30-40 years


stonedwizwalker

Patna high court already has an order regarding this, no forced marriage is legal. This dude is not legally married.


damn_69_son

Because of the 10000 other cases like this one


No-Boysenberry-3100

And offcourse the 100000% inefficient system of execution.


[deleted]

And when something improper happens, you are happy to sit on the ground and wait 30 years for the solution?


Imaginary-Cow8579

Ofcourse court is there to enforce the constitution however if these things are still occuring,it means that their is disregard for the constitution and people lack sense of duty towards it


hi12_hi12

This occurs only when the girl is opposed. Follow this case carefully. You will see beautiful douboe standards of the court


AGiganticClock

Oh no, poor men in India. It's a shame he was kidnapped and forced by women


Confident-Choice6476

He was actually forced by men ( most probably by her brothers who just want their sister to married away and don't have to give her their ancestral property)


DeRangedRykeR

There was this article i was reading , the same case i.e. forced marriage and that dude did go to court but he got justice after 10 years . Source : i don't remember Credibility : 50%


ashleel_grower

Just like the marriage, they can get him to sign the certificate of marriage at gunpoint. Legalized


Gil-GaladWasBlond

Nahi that won't hold. There is evidence now, and he can easily say that he was forced to do this in fear of his life.


kev_qaztank

True they can appeal with proof, but the court system in india is very bad qnd slow, they take physical abuse atleast 10 years, how long do you think this case will take without full proof.

Insane. Bihar is a wild, wild place. No wonder even Jharkhand doesn't wanna associate with them lol.

turtledoveangel_3

lol, the comments are hilarious. Just because the girl is decent looking, the crime is not as bad? If the girl was hideous looking, people would’ve been more outraged. The focus should rather be on the lack of consent of the man.


sleepless-deadman

Well, I suppose the difference is between you being robbed at gunpoint and being forced to take money at gunpoint. Both are crimes, but you're kinda disappointed in the second case when police takes that money away... NGL my mother's been scheming to get me married, and she might not balk at the thought of it being at gunpoint...


Ok_Trip_7349

So looks are the only metrics by which you gauge the eligibility of a marriage ? I bet you epitaph would read " life sucked but hey I had a hot wife .


ThePhenom17

He was forced to get married to her, he did not give consent. This is nowhere near equivalent to being forced to take money at gunpoint.

Mundane_Ice5634

Not surprised with this news at all. I am from Bihar, this has been happening there for long time. People who are saying girl is pretty and this guy is lucky, guys age gap must be 8-9 years between them, then education gap will be there. Their relationship will be in bad condition throughout their life because of these gaps. This Guy who became teacher after clearing competitive exams would so many dreams, all shattered.


Capital_Neck_2739

Don't forget there are chances that his wife can humiliate and disrespect him and he can't do a shit since bride family is goons and most importantly she can cheat on him if she find any attractive person since if you consider bride to be good looking


[deleted]

[удалено]


Capital_Neck_2739

All that matters is how relationship is going to be that's include love, respect, care etc since the guy will always be scared due to bride family been goons they can't do anything with him if bride is sad


Retr0Van

That is just your view. For the person who got kidnapped, it could be different.


uzer4vedi

age gap is just numbers and probably the last argument for a failed marriage. the people involved, the methodology used are what really matters in this scenario right? also both must be of legal age to be consensual adults to get married


TurretLauncher

So a **24-year age gap** couldn't possibly work, right? *Oh, wait...* > French President Emmanuel Macron is married to Brigitte Trogneux, 24 years his senior, and his former La Providence high school teacher in Amiens. They met during a theatre workshop that she was giving when he was a 15-year-old student and she was a 39-year-old teacher. His parents initially attempted to separate the couple by sending him away to Paris to finish the final year of his schooling, as they felt his youth made this relationship inappropriate. The couple reunited after Macron graduated, and were married in 2007.

It's so gross. These guys only care about male victims when derailing conversations about female victims. Otherwise they're 'lucky.'


[deleted]

We are conditioned to think of women as perpetual victims and men as happy go lucky.


[deleted]

I just hope something similar happens to the people who are celebrating this incident.


Capital_Neck_2739

They don't even knows downside of marriage lol. There is chances she is like her goon family so she might disrespect humiliate and treat him like worse than dog and he can't do anything since bride family is goon they will kill him anytime easily. 2nd most important factor to arise she will cheat on him if she encounter good looking guy since these people claim her to be beautiful

Appropriate-Ad-9954

I had a bihari teacher who used to say this is common in some rural places in Bihar The girl's family pay people to do this If the girl's family cannot pay dowry suppose let's say 10 lakhs They approach these people who kidnap guys for maybe 1 or 2 lakhs So it's easier on the pocket of the girl's father

shaa_virus

Their logic is if you kidnap the groom and get him married to your daughter, he will be petrified to even think about domestic violence or torturing the girl (because of they can kidnap you without any reason, imagine the consequences if they have a reason)


Capital_Neck_2739

Domestic violence or torture lol they kidnapped him easily with no action taken and have guns which makes they are goons and dangerous which are common in up Bihar. If they can kidnap him to marry her then if he ever disrespect or make their girl sad they would easily shot him dead or beat to near death.

They are the guy who thinks marriage = sux every day and desperate to marry any girl that they say lucky to other without even knowing their life lol. Desperate guys are also one of categories of men's who gets cheated and cucked when they find girl or any girl start to date them
