Do you have information about forced mariages?

Question

I need information about forced mariages, mainly in islamistic countries (like Algeria). How are the traditions? Is this still the custom? How has the situation changed?

Answer 1

The internet has loads of information on forced marriages. All you needed to do was a simple internet search. Here is a small sample of what is available, focusing on Algeria.

I suggest in future that you just use a search engine, instead of runing to Yahoo! Answers.
