Mind the gaps: Improving the legal and institutional approach to forced marriage as honour-based violence in Spain
• Forced marriage is a type of honour-based violence often overlooked in Spain. • No systematic data on forced marriage are currently collected in Spain. • The Spanish legal approach to forced marriage is predominantly punitive. • A protective legal status for victims of forced marriage needs development. • Institutional approaches vary in intensity across different Spanish regions.
