RESEARCH QUESTION!

Why were forced marriages necessary? Why did the begin?
What system beget the concept of forced marriages?
*How does forced marriages compare with the concept of arranged marriages and how are they alike or different?
I am researching the concept of forced marriages because I want to explain how this concept violates article 6 of the Universal Doctrine of Human Rights in order to show an example of a human rights violation.
In oder to answer these questions I must use reliable resources that are found through strategic searching of specific terms.

Tentative research Proposal

I am looking at the topic of forced marriages in the form of both child marriages and arranged marriages. Although arranged marriages do involve a form of traditional and cultural consent it is a borderline method of a lack of freedom on the bride or grooms part.
