Abstract

This paper analyses human trafficking for forced marriage in the Spanish legal system, and discusses the most recent legislative reforms of the Spanish Penal Code, in particular, the reform of 2015, responsible for introducing this crime in Article 177 bis, which defines human trafficking as an offence. To this end, it is examined not only the Spanish law but also international legislation regarding this issue, such as the United Nations Protocol To Prevent, Suppress, and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children –which offers a definition of human trafficking, and establishes a set of criteria for a coherent and circumscribed framework in the fight against trafficking– as well as European Human Rights legislation and the law of the European Union.
