When most forced marriage work then why is it illegal is sum places?

Question

Most forced marriage of the forced arranged, shotgun weeding and general forcedsort actually work very well. Many people learn to love each other later on or don't bother and have a good life together any way.

So why is it illegal in some places? I am aware that sometimes the person may be in love with someone else or hates the person that they are being forced into marrying, but these faults can be worked on after marriage or they might decide to have a open marriage later on.
The only bad thing about forced marriage is human trafficking and the domestic abuse found in these marriage. Other than that what are the negative aspects of such marriage that i don't know about

Answer 1

WOMEN'S LIB!

Answer 2

Human trafficking and domestic abuse are reasons enough to not support forced marriages!

Forced marriage only "works" because the women forced into it are totally submissive and can't stand up for themselves. They know they'll be considered "damaged goods" if they leave, and no one will ever marry them again.

Answer 3

Um...... the only bad thing is the human trafficking and the domestic abuse? Isn't that enough of a draw back to be illegal for you. I bet you wouldn't be asking this question if you were one of the people being abused or sold............How about the loss of dignity and self respect, how about the loss of free will. If these "marriages" work, and I use the term marriage loosely, it is because of fear and nothing more.....
This isn't something to joke about...........

Answer 4

Well, you summed it up yourself when you mentioned human trafficking and domestic abuse.

Furthermore, prove that these forced marriages work. I've never heard of someone who is happy when they've been forced into marriage with someone.
