Cevap
In Australia, forced marriage is a serious criminal offense and is illegal, regardless of any cultural or religious traditions.
The correct answer is correct because forced marriage—where a person is pressured or coerced into marriage without their full and free consent—is a serious crime in Australia. This law applies to everyone living in Australia, and no cultural or religious belief provides a legal excuse for this practice.
