You were the one that decided to be a total ***** in response, so obviously it's YOU who cannot respond in a mature or "constructive" way.

Forced MARRIAGES ARE ILLEGAL IN EVERY WESTERN COUNTRY. the US, Canada, Australia, UK, all of the EU.... so i don't understand why you are acting like it's impressive that it's illegal in scandanavia. You cannot FORCE anyone to marry someone in ANY western country. that's a FACT. you can't FORCE anyone to do ANYTHING in any free country. That's what makes free countries free.

IF you don't understand that, then poo on you, but don't act like i'm the one who's ignorant.

Alex, you entered an argument without even knowing the facts. You clearly stated that forced marriage is illegal in the UK because we're a free country (and by the way the UK isn't a country - it's made up of countries). I told you that isn't true (and you should have picked that up from the thread as it's been mentioned numerous times). No, it isn't illegal, as I think you'll find. As Omah rightly says, if you are found forcing someone to marry and actually going through with it, you are subject to civil law but not criminal law. Criminal law is the bridge between legal and illegal. As in the UK you're not subject to criminal law as a consequence of forced marriage it therefore isn't illegal over here. Are you too little of a don to understand that?
