In her address, Ms Sturgeon explained the main elements of the new legislation and clarified how it would protect victims of forced marriage and punish perpetrators. Moreover, she made a clear distinction between forced marriage, where one of the parties involved does not give consent to the marriage; and arranged marriage, where both the potential spouses consent fully.
