An example of when a forced marriage involved human trafficking is United States of America v. Zahida Aman et al. In United States of America v. Zahida Aman et al., the United States successfully prosecuted and convicted three individuals for trafficking crimes relating to a forced marriage. On Jan. 24, 2023, the traffickers were sentenced to five, 10 and 12 years of imprisonment, respectively, and ordered to pay restitution to the victim. The case serves as an example of how forced marriage and human trafficking can intersect and result in complex and devastating exploitation of vulnerable individuals, as abuse often goes undetected for long periods of time due to its hidden nature within the confines of familial relationships.
