    How bizarre! I never realised the numbers where that high for forced marriages. Although against some religious faiths I think they should be banned. Everyone should be free, surly that is what god or the gods would want. And children who are born into a marriage family ( http://www.marriagemax.com/ ) have to suffer having parents who don't really love each other which can be depressing for the child.
