This article attempts to make progress on understanding the problems linked to forced marriage, as The Special Court for Sierra Leone the first time ever acknowledged it as a crime against humanity, and consequently recognized the women afflicted by it (bush wives, rebel wives) as victims. The forced marriage was not embraced in the international agreements until now. The need of protection of women in the armed conflicts has become indispensable, because of the very frequent use of such strategy of violence against women during armed conflicts. It found a reflection in several UN Security Council resolutions: S/RES/1820 (2008), S/RES/1829 (2008) and S/RES/1325 (2000), which in particular are concerned with the protection of women’s rights through the mechanisms of transitional justice and criminal justice. Yet, forced marriage has not been recognized as a separate crime by other international criminal courts. Nevertheless, the jurisprudence of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda contributed to creating a new crime on the ground of international law. Undoubtedly, forced marriage results in extreme feelings of humiliation and indignity both by the victims and their families. The bush wives instead of being accepted are being excluded from the community. This emotional and social rejection becomes the worst consequence for the victims. Against this background the judgments of the Special Court for Sierra Leone is very important for the international criminal justice, since the Appeals Chamber of the Court in the AFRC case underlined the particular suffering of victims and their stigmatization, which were considered different than in other forms of sexual violence, especially sexual slavery.

The paper is devoted to the issues of criminalisation of forcing to marriage. The author considered a lot of criminal-legal sources, which provide a responsibility for the mentioned socially dangerous phenomenon, all over Europe. A significant part of the manuscript covers a juridical analysis of a crime provided by Article 151-2 of the Criminal code of Ukraine in force. The author, according to his opinion, takes under consideration some burning questions which make incorrect qualification and use of the aforecited norm. A certain place in the paper is allocated for the analysis of foreign criminal legislation for combating coercion to marriage. So, the author has made EU criminal legislation review concerning the anti-forced marriage campaign and separately displayed criminal-legal approaches to resist forced marriage within other European territories which are not EU members. There was briefly revealed the reaction of EU countries for signing and ratification of appropriate EC Convention.

Может казаться, что XXI век – это время, когда бракосочетания возможны только по любви, а женщина может сама решить, за кого выйти замуж. Автор данной публикации представляет явление похищения женщин с целью бракосочетания. История подтверждает, что похищения жён практиковали во всём мире. Сегодня эта традиция сохранилась, прежде всего, в Средней Азии. Явление принудительных браков посредством похищения женщин вы- ступает в Киргизстане, Казахстане, Туркменистане, Таджикистане и Узбеки- стане. Принудительный брак посредством похищения является нарушением основных прав человека. Государства Центральной Азии – это сигнатарии Всеобщей Декларации Прав Человека, Международного пакта о граждан- ских и политических правах, а также Конвенции о ликвидации всех форм дискриминации в отношении женщин, которые запрещают подобные дей- ствия. Нужно бороться со всеми возможными проявлениями подобных ак- тов в мире. В публикации автор даёт определение данного явления. Государ- ства Центральной Азии связаны многими международными договорами, но это не приводит к внедрению эффективных юридических норм. В публика- ции автор указывает факторы, которые влияют на преступника. Также в пу- бликации представлены статьи закона уголовного права в указанных го- сударствах. Стоит обратить внимание, что в результате проявлений таких нечеловеческих действий очень часто пострадавшими становятся дети.
