How sad the young girl being trapped by a man and forcibly getting married. In some cases men act as the maniac.The court has to be strict in such cases.

Is the 3 years of imprisonment enough for this crime. Just think of the girl. What situation she might have faced in the past 6 years? Our law has to be revised that’s why the crimes are on increase.
