Rakshasa marriage, this marriage is like a fairytale, whereas the groom uses force to woo the girl. The groom will battle with the bride`s family until he overcomes them, carries his love away and convinces her to marry him. Some people argue this is not an appropriate type of marriage and considered it to be a forced marriage. “Hindu scriptures describe this form of marriage as forcible abduction of a maiden from her home, while she cries and weeps, after her kinsmen have been slain or wounded and their house broken. Women, thus, caused many fights and battles in ancient times” (Rakshasa Marriage | Shagun (Shagun RSS).
