India’s ‘abducted grooms’- BBC News
Indian parents often go through intense social pressure to find the perfect groom for their daughters.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Okay, I'm curious. I'm sure a lot of the girls/women would be or were upset at their parents for doing this, but do you think some of them actually go, like "Dad, that guy's cute. Abduct him"? Do you think SOME of them did that?

Well, that's not happening to their kids though right? Arranged marriages are a lot more cruel than the stories of old but it has to be dying out. IMO.

Most girl's say ,"She's a female victim , male's should not exist" when heard about male victims ," girl or guy no one deserves these " . "But for girls that's more worse ".
Ya ya that's why female suicide rate is lower than male's right ?

They could kill the parents when they have the chance after the forced marriage. Simple solution. The best revenge comes to those who wait.
@mistymayhem9279

This issue that most people aren't addressing is WHO is behind all of this?
Who are the ones kidnapping both girls and boys at GUNPOINT? Are the women doing the kidnapping and wielding around guns?
The problem is the MEN who are engaging in these violent kidnappings so it is MEN who have to confront these kidnappers.
Men rule the world and are the major leaders in each country, correct? So if you are a male and you are suffering, wouldn't it be logical to put the blame on the MEN who make the rules? 🤔
Are you men afraid of confronting your male oppressors?
