"Forced marriage" as a book category refers to fiction and nonfiction that center on marriages entered into through coercion, manipulation, violence, legal or social pressure, or threat rather than free, informed consent. These works commonly explore power imbalances, family or community pressure, cultural or religious contexts, legal and human-rights implications, and the psychological and physical consequences for those compelled into marriage; plots may involve abduction, trafficking, survival and escape, legal battles, or long-term abuse and its aftermath. Because the subject matter often includes sexual violence, domestic abuse, and trauma, books in this category frequently carry content warnings and may approach the topic from advocacy, investigative, historical, or survivor-centered perspectives; they are distinct from consensual "arranged marriage" narratives and should be handled with sensitivity to avoid romanticizing coercion.
