Episode notes

A forced marriage occurs when one or both individuals do not consent freely, often due to threats, coercion, deception, or if they are under 16 or those with mental incapacities. No matter how long you've been living here, it's vital to know: You have the right to choose who you marry.  In this episode, we'll explore the difference between arranged and forced marriage and where you can turn for help if you or someone you know is affected.  - Guurka khasabka ah, labada qof midkood ama labadaba ayaan si xor ah u oggolaannin guurka, iyadoo mararka qaarkood ay sababto, hanjebaad, cadaadis ama khiyaano, iyo haddii qofka loo guurinayo ay da'diisu ka yartahay 16 sano, amaba uu qabo xaalad maskaxeed oo saamaysa awooddiisa go'aan-qaadasho. Muddada aad joogtey Australia intay doontaba ha le'ekaate'e, waa muhiim inaad ogaato, inaad adigu xaq u leedahay inaad doorto qofka aad guursanayso. Warbixintanna, waxaannu ku iftiimin doonaa, farqiga u dhexeeya guurka la soo abaabulay (arranged marriage) iyo guurka qasabka ah (forced marriage) – iyo meesha aad ka heli karto gargaar, haddii adiga ama qof aad taqaanid ay dhibaatadaasi saamaysay.
