About this listen

 A forced marriage occurs when one or both individuals do not consent freely, often due to threats, coercion, deception, or if they are under 16 or those with mental incapacities. No matter how long you've been living here, it's vital to know: You have the right to choose who you marry.  In this episode, we'll explore the difference between arranged and forced marriage and where you can turn for help if you or someone you know is affected.
