Summary
The bill expands the Domestic Violence Prevention Act to treat forced marriage as a form of abuse. It lets courts issue restraining orders against anyone who arranges, finances, or facilitates a forced marriage, even if the marriage isn’t legally valid. Violating such an order becomes a misdemeanor, giving victims stronger legal protection.
