It may sound curious but a latest government survey shows 209 men were kidnapped in the country last year to force them into
wedlock.

This figure includes three men above the age of 50 years and two below the age of ten years.

Interestingly, Bihar is the only big state where more men are kidnapped than women, according to the ‘Crime in India — 2007’ report prepared by National Crime Records Bureau

According to the report, 1268 men were kidnapped from Bihar while figures for women were six less than that.

Out of a total of 27,561 kidnapping cases, 12,856 were related to marriage in which 12,874 people were abducted.
