Résumé 0

Forced Marriages: A Study of Legislation and Political Action in Europe The analysis of official data collected from member states of the Council of Europe, and from semi-directive interviews conducted with social, political and judicial actors, allows us to shed some light on the problems caused by forced marriages. What legal instruments can be used to prevent or annul such marriages, and to punish those who decide them or are an accessory to them? What systems and plans of political action have been implemented to prevent and counter these practices? Finally, to what degree are the means available in keeping with the experience of persons confronted with a forced marriage? In this study, comparative analysis is limited to five European countries: Belgium, France, Norway, the United Kingdom and Sweden.
