Yes, because... Most of these marriages take place outside the jurisdiction of the UK
Although this debate has been focussed on the UK or the US standard legal practices, the title does not make it clear that these are the only circumstances which we are considering here. In some cultures non-consensual sex within marriage is legal. Thus forced marriages would effectively be leading to what we, in the Western world, regard as rape.
