51-year-old Australian man sentenced to prison for attempting to force-marry his teenage children.

A 51-year-old man in New South Wales, Australia, was sentenced to three years and four months in prison for attempting to force his 15- and 17-year-old children into marriages without their consent. The siblings escaped and reported him to the Australian Federal Police, who found evidence of the marriage plans on his seized phones. This marks Australia's second successful prosecution for forced marriage, amid a rise in human trafficking reports.
