Summary: This report looks at Afghan women's
struggles with forced marriage, in
addition to other abuses. To defend
against forced marriages, AI urges
that a woman's right to choose a
spouse freely, including forbidding
child marriage, should be specifically
mentioned in clauses in the
constitution that make reference to
the family.Owner: Amnesty International USA
