Question:
Kunchen form of marriage in Sikkim is exactly similar to which of the following marriage system of H.P.?

Options

(1) Damchalshish
(2) Darosh (dub-dub)
(3) Batta-Satta
(4) Chheti
Answer: (2) Darosh (dub-dub)

Explanation:
The Kunchen form of marriage in Sikkim refers to marriage by capture — where a man captures or elopes with a woman against her initial resistance, which is later socially accepted. This practice is exactly similar to the 'Darosh' (also called dub-dub) form of marriage practised among certain communities in Himachal Pradesh, particularly in tribal areas. Marriage by capture is also practised by Ho, Santhal, Munda and Bhumij tribes of Chhota Nagpur. The practice is described in detail in 'Kannauras of the Trans Himalayas' by Sukhdev Singh Chhib.
