Abstract

Forced marriage, which is not entered into only
with the free and full consent of the intending spouses, is violation of
internationally recognised human rights standards. In Turkey; there are many
types of forced marriage. Protecting perceived cultural or religious ideals is
the most significant factor leads to forced marriage. A forced marriage will be
a marriage where all kinds of violence in the family will most likely be
experienced. Some European countries made forced marriage into a criminal
offence, but it is not defined as a criminal offence in Turkey. This study aims
to point out the situation and the types of forced marriages in Turkey and
to bring suggestions to struggle with forced marriages.
