Căsătoriile forțate vor fi pedepsite penal. Abuzatorii riscă închisoare între unu și șapte ani

The Romanian Parliament has approved a law that criminalizes forced marriages and cohabitations among minors, imposing penalties of up to seven years in prison for offenders. The legislation aims to protect minors from being coerced into relationships without their consent. It establishes specific penalties based on the age of the victims, with harsher sentences for those under 16. The law also allows for increased penalties in certain circumstances, such as when the perpetrator has control over the victim or poses a threat to their safety. This initiative reflects a commitment to uphold individual rights and combat forced marriages in Romania.
