description <p>Forced marriages is a phenomenon that appears linked to migration, but it results difficult to be defined due to its confusion with arranged marriages, fraudulent marriages or marriages of convenience. It is a little known issue in Spain, but not in other European countries that have a larger experience in migration issues and management of multiculturality. In Europe, sometimes forced marriages have been associated to a migration problem, some other times to a religion one, eventually it has been understood only as a cultural problem or as a form of gender violence. Depending on which is the diagnosis and explanation of this phenomenon, it varies the way the law regulates it.
