In A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act I, Egeus comes to court complaining that his daughter Hermia is resisting his command for her to marry Demetrius, and is carrying on with Lysander instead. He asks the Duke, who is acting as judge, whether the law can force her to marry Demetrius. Duke Theseus says yes, she can be forced, and if she refuses she can be put to death unless she chooses to become a nun.
