BBC NEWS | South Asia | Indian village paves way to love

BBC NEWS | South Asia | Indian village paves way to love: "More than 100 unmarried villagers in India's Bihar state are working flat out to build a 6km (3.7-mile) road to help their efforts to get married.

The village of Barwaan Kala, in the west of Bihar, is located high in the Kaimur hills and is known locally as the 'village of unmarried people'.

Some 121 villagers aged between 16 and 80 remain bachelors, they say, because of the remoteness of the village.

The last wedding in the village was reportedly 50 years ago."
