Accounts of this vary across texts and traditions. This entry primarily follows Bhagavata Purana, with other tellings (Harivamsha) noted where relevant.
Bhadra is a princess of Kekaya, a cousin of Krishna on his mother's side, and one of the eight principal queens. She is not the same person as Rama's courtier Bhadra.
The Bhagavata Purana says Krishna married her with the consent of her brothers.
