Forced Marriage & Arranged Marriage
Write Me A StoryAn ‘arranged marriage’ is a marriage set up by family members. An arranged marriage is not a forced marriage if both partners are over 18 when they get married and they can choose whether or not to participate. An arranged marriage is a forced marriage if either partner is unable or unwilling to give permission.

Kebanyakkan orang selalu fikir yang genre forced marriage & arranged marriage ni adalh bnde yg sama. Technically they are, but from the statement above, ianya tak sama langsung.
Arranged marriage - Your parents decides to marry you to one of their friend's son/daughter. You CAN choose whether you WANT to marry the person or DECLINE it. You have a choice in an arranged marriage.
Forced marriage - Your parents decides to marry you to one of their friend's son/daughter because you've done something (like getting pregnant from their friend's son, kena tangkap basah, caught in a scandal & nama keluarga terancam kalau x cover cepat2 atau apa2 je yg melibatkan maruah). You have NO choice but to marry that person because if not, you and your whole family will be in trouble or nama keluarga akan rosak.
So there, after this hopefully some of you x samakn kedua genre tu. Its totally different.
