Marriage, meant to symbolize trust and partnership, sometimes becomes a ground for exploitation in Nepal. Common marriage crimes include child marriage, dowry-related violence, marital rape, polygamy, forced marriage, and domestic abuse. Despite constitutional and legal safeguards, cultural norms, social stigma, and enforcement gaps allow such violations to persist. This article explains the types of marriage crimes, related punishments under Nepali law, and the urgent need for social reforms. At Alpine Law Associates, we are committed to empowering victims, raising awareness, and promoting justice through strategic legal advocacy across Nepal.
