Huwen op Bevel also known as Terpaksa Menikah, both meaning Forced to Marry is a 1931 romance film from the Dutch East Indies now Indonesia. Directed by G.

Huwen op Bevel was directed by the Indo director G. Krugers and produced by Krugers in collaboration with Tan Khoen Yauw of Tans Film. The Indonesian film historian Misbach Yusa Biran suggests that Krugers, whose last film Karnadi Anemer Bangkong 1930 was produced by his own Krugers Filmbedrijf in Bandung, had run out of funds during production and thus began working for Tan he credits this to Karnadi Anemer Bangkongs failure. Concurrently with his work on Huwen op Bevel, for which he also handled the cinematography, Krugers likely served as cameraman for Tans talkie version of Njai Dasima, directed by Bachtiar Effendi.Huwen op Bevel was released in 1931, although several sources list it as being from 1932. It screened in Batavia now Jakarta in August, reaching Medan in late September and Surabaya by midOctober. The film was advertised as having full sound, including music and singing. Later advertisements compared it with Tans production, Njai Dasima. It was advertised as the first sound film in the Indies and referred to as such by some later writings. Biran, however, writes that Krugerss earlier film Karnadi Anemer Bangkong featured sound. ........
