France takes a stand against forced marriages: New laws to protect victims
Individuals who are forced into marriage often face physical, emotional, and psychological harm. They may suffer from domestic violence, isolation, and limited autonomy. In some cases, individuals are even taken abroad to be married against their will. This can have lasting consequences on their mental health and well-being.
France has taken steps to address forced marriage through legislation and initiatives aimed at preventing and combating this practice. The law prohibits forced marriages and provides support for individuals who are at risk or have already been forced into marriage. However, challenges still remain in identifying and supporting those who are affected by forced marriage.
It is important for individuals to be aware of the signs of forced marriage and to seek help if they or someone they know is at risk. Organizations and support services are available to provide assistance and guidance to those affected by forced marriage. By working together, we can continue to raise awareness and combat forced marriage in France.
