"Victim"[edit]

This word, used extensively in this article, is a value judgement and should be expressly attributed to the person whose opinion it is, or replaced with an expression that is morally neutral. James500 (talk) 23:33, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, 'victim' is a neutral term that describes the person at the receiving end of a crime. Marco13185 (talk) 21:21, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Marco on this matter. Although in a wider context 'victim' may be a contentious word, in reference to a crime being committed - which this is - the person to whom the crime is being committed against is simply called the 'victim'. In the governments' own legislature the reference is to the victim.

In addition, the main article on forced marriage uses the term extensively and this does not appear to be a problem there. Given that there has been no further discussion of this for three years, I am going to declare the issue resolved and remove the tag. Mhardcastle (talk) 13:32, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
