Matrimonios Forzados en Guerrero: de la Conceptualización a la Complejidad de Nombrar lo que Incomoda

The starting point of this article is to define the concept of marriage based on how forced marriage is conceived in other cultures and in Guerrero, as well as to outline some of the characteristics that constitute it as a cultural practice; religion, social status, culture, gender, and age are some of the factors addressed. Aspects related to forced marriage, such as gender and the differences between the female and male genders, are presented because gender-based violence within forced marriage is one of its most evident consequences, along with the oppression of the patriarchal system; both are central to the problem of forced marriage.
