Căsătoriile şi convieţuirile forţate vor fi pedepsite penal. Legea merge la promulgare • Newsweek România

Forced marriages and cohabitations will be criminalized in Romania, with increased penalties for minors, following a parliamentary vote. The law aims to protect individuals from being coerced into unwanted unions. It defines forced marriage and cohabitation as compelling someone to enter a marriage or similar relationship. Penalties range from 1 to 7 years of imprisonment, depending on the victim's age and circumstances. The law also addresses the transportation of individuals for forced marriages and mandates public awareness campaigns through media broadcasts.
