Forced marriage and child marriage are recognized globally as human rights abuses and forms of modern slavery – yet they remain legal in most of the United States. This course examines the laws that enable and even encourage forced and child marriage; how those laws intersect with cultural and religious norms; the profound human suffering these abuses cause; and the vital role family lawyers can play to achieve justice.
