Can you be killed  for not getting married ?

Yes, it's not very rare in few parts of India.
A family member who decides to remain unmarried is often killed by his own family members for grabing his share of property.

As per Hindu Succession Law, if a person is unmarried his share of property after his death will devolve to other members of family.

In case he is married, it will be  passed  on to his legal  heirs.

But here in this case reported from Ghaziabad, this man has gone beyond and killed five members of his family over 20 years to grab his brother property and kept  his brother widow in live in.

Ghaziabad Police had arrested a man for allegedly killing five members of his family over a period of 20 years to obtain ancestral property.

 Leelu Tyagi, along with his associates, had killed his relative, Reshu, and four other members of his family in an attempt to obtain ancestral property.

Leelu Taygi's two associates - Surendra Tyagi and Rahul - were also arrested while his two other associates are absconding, police said.

Police said the case came to light after a missing person's complaint of Leelu Tyagi's relative Reshu was filed on August 15.

During probe, police found Leelu Tyagi, along with help from other accused, had killed his relative Reshu and four other members of his family in an attempt to obtain ancestral property.

About 20 years ago, Leelu Tyagi killed his elder brother Sudheer Tyagi. He then allegedly murdered his brother's eight-year-old daughter by poisoning her, police said.

A few years later, Leelu Tyagi then murdered his Sudheer's second daughter and later dumped her body in a river.

In 2012, Leelu Tyagi killed his second brother Brijesh's son and dumped his body in Ghaziabad's Hindon body.

In August this year, Leelu Tyagi, along with his associates, hatched another plan to kill Brijesh's other son, Reshu.

On August 8, Leelu invited Reshu for food and drinks and allegedly strangled him to death with a rope. He then disposed his body in a similar fashion at a canal in Bulandshahr.

For the past years, Leelu was living his elder brother's widow and he was able to deceive the family members. He had even managed to sign off the deceased's property in his name.

Leelu's family members had never suspected him as he had managed to safely dumped bodies in river or canal.
