Female Infanticide and Foeticide

A more recent cause of “marriage by capture” in countries like China, South-Korea and India are the dwindling numbers of available women in those countries. The lower value placed on women in Indian and Chinese societies has resulted in female infanticide and female foeticide. The Hindustan Times has reported cases of young girls from Assam and West Bengal kidnapped and sold into marriage in neighbouring Haryana. Even official Chinese statistics (which seem to be on the low side) gives the nation 80 million young men who have no hope of ever getting married. As a result there is an increase in abductions of girls who are forced into marriage or forced to work as prostitutes in areas with a shortage of women.
