MARD was founded in 2009 by a group of men who were experiencing legal challenges relating to the Dowry Prohibition Act and the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act. Kapil Mohan Choudhary, one of its founder members, alleges that he has been involved in a judicial struggle over a dowry issue since 1999.
The party's tagline is 'Mard ko dard hota hai' (Men feel the pain).
Yes, they are contesting 2024 Lok Sabha Elections. This is not the first election in which MARD members will compete. Since its formation in 2009, the party has taken part in seven elections.
During the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the party fielded candidates from Varanasi and Lucknow. In 2020, the party contested a by-election in Bangarmau and Assembly election from Bareilly, Lucknow North, Bakshi Ka Talab.
