Paper 1
Revise: Changing Relationships Within FamiliesA forced marriage lacks free consent. Family involvement alone does not make a marriage forced.
Component 1
A marriage in which one or both people do not or cannot consent and pressure or abuse is used. UK guidance also includes causing someone under 18 to marry, even without pressure or abuse.
Keep arranged marriage separate from forced marriage: the crucial distinction is free consent, not whether relatives help select a partner.
Arranged marriage is not the same as forced marriage. Explain whether both individuals can freely accept or refuse.
