Arranged, Forced or Not Enough Information?

You will practiseUse consent and evidence rather than culture to classify a situation.
Start quick activity

Who introduced or suggested a partner does not by itself determine whether a marriage is forced.

What evidence tells us whether a marriage is freely chosen?

Understand the idea

The decisive issue is free and full consent, not the mere involvement of family. Sort what is fact, inference, assumption and unknown before classifying.

You do not need to share anything about your own life or family.

A fictional situation

A family introduced two people. You do not yet know whether either person can refuse without fear or serious consequences.

Evidence classification · Arranged, forced or unknown

Question 1 of 3 · Separate

A family introduced two people. Does that fact alone establish whether the marriage is arranged or forced?

Choose one answer, then submit it.

Sort what you know before you decide.

Select every thinking move that belongs in your answer. There may be more than one. Nothing is submitted or saved.

Changing your answer after new evidence is good reasoning.

Reflect privately

Write privately, think silently or pass. Nothing entered here is submitted or saved.

Classify through consent and evidence, not culture.

Optional extension: Add changing consent or indirect coercion and reconsider the classification.
