MSPs are seeking views on whether forced marriage should be a criminal offence.
Holyrood’s Justice Committee wants to know if people believe criminalisation would be an improvement or if present safeguards are sufficient.
The call for evidence comes after an attempt by Westminster to legislate for Scotland on the criminalisation for forced marriage.
The UK Bill would make it a criminal offence for any person to use violence, threats or any other form of coercion to force someone to marry without their free and full consent.
