Yes, it is illegal to force anyone into marriage in Portugal. Depending on the details, the parents, and possibly the groom, could be prosecuted. The circumstances of being forced are also grounds for having the marriage annulled.

The Human Rights Council is the leading UN body responsible for the promotion and protection of human rights around the world. The Council considers forced marriage to be a human rights violation.

Over 100 countries co-sponsored a resolution on child, early and forced marriage at the Human Rights Council in September 2013, calling for the elimination of child, early and forced marriage to be considered in the post-2015 development agenda. The resolution was unanimously adopted and is the first to be passed on the issue at the Human Rights Council. Portugal was among the states that supported the resolution. See the discussion page for the other States that supported it.
