AB  - Servile marriage involves a person being sold, transferred or inherited into marriage.
New offences in the Criminal Code 1995 recently passed by Parliament are designed to protect adults as well as children who are forced into marriage by either the person they are marrying, or another person such as a parent. These offences apply to marriages that occur in Australia, as well as to marriages that occur in another country that involve Australian citizens.
