Talk:forced marriage

forced marriage
Definition is quite specific, probably to avoid looking SOP... but that's what it is. —  [Ric Laurent] — 22:59, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep: Tweak the definition, though Purplebackpack89  (Notes Taken) (Locker) 23:06, 10 November 2011 (UTC)


 * You haven't addressed the the issue that this is completely SOP. —  [Ric Laurent] — 01:27, 11 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Maybe because I don't think it's completely SOP, or because I would keep it anyway... Purplebackpack89  (Notes Taken) (Locker) 04:58, 12 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Kepp: this term is used a lot in the media, especially when referring to marriages in India and AfricaLucifer 23:47, 10 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete. Many self-evident multi-word terms are used in the media. Equinox ◑ 23:49, 10 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Wide use in the media does not override the fact that it's totally SOP. —  [Ric Laurent] — 01:27, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep: I've heard that in a forced marriage, one or both spouses don't want (or, in the case of disability, can't) to give consent, but are forced to marry under duress against their wishes. Reasons for forcing the one or both spouses to marry can get diverse, such as honor (or izzat, if desired), money, to emigrate with an "anchor bride", etc. (Who wants to think up any other reasons or excuses for making a forced marriage?) --Lo Ximiendo 02:46, 11 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Why is everyone saying "keep" while they keep proving that it's a complete sum of parts? It's not like a shotgun wedding, which even if it weren't idiomatic is highly specific. A forced marriage is a marriage that is forced. Regardless of which half of the couple doesn't want it or both or the reason for the marriage being forced, the fact remains that it's completely recognizable by the sum...of its...parts.... —  [Ric Laurent] — 12:30, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Here's this on forced marriage as an issue of ethics. But you're free to do any research. --Lo Ximiendo 21:13, 11 November 2011 (UTC)


 * delete, sorry but isn't this just a marriage that is forced? -- Liliana • 12:33, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per all the arguments put forth by everyone above, including those saying "keep". &#x200b;—msh210℠ (talk) 17:34, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. As Ric and msh210 point out, the "keep" voters are making great arguments for deleting this. —Ruakh TALK 03:26, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. It's a marriage which is forced. And the definition doesn't make sense: you can be in a forced marriage, but the way in which it has been forced doesn't have to be just what is proposed in the definition. ---&#62; Tooironic 11:04, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per everyone, --Mglovesfun (talk) 17:14, 12 November 2011 (UTC).
 * Its a set phraseLucifer 23:02, 12 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I can't put my finger on it, but this is definitely a set phrase. I'm sorry not to offer better rationale for keeping. DAVilla 05:04, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * The british government has a task force dedicated to "Forced Marriage" (I added a quotation to the article from their annual report) which really seems to indicate this is a society topic as well
