What are some interesting forced marriage love stories in literature?

Yes, it can. For instance, in some historical arranged marriages, couples gradually fall in love over time. Take the story of my grandparents. Their marriage was arranged by their families. Initially, they hardly knew each other. But as they started living together, they discovered common interests and grew to love each other deeply. Another example is in some cultures where arranged marriages are common. Couples often find love after the marriage through mutual respect and understanding.

One example of a forced love story in literature is in 'Romeo and Juliet'. Juliet was being pushed towards Paris as a suitor by her family, but she was in love with Romeo. It shows how family pressure can force a situation related to love.

Forced gay marriage stories are extremely concerning. One example could be in some fictional scenarios where a character is forced into a marriage with someone of the same sex due to family pressure in a very traditional and unaccepting family setting. But in reality, such situations are more complex and often tied to issues of discrimination and lack of understanding. In many places, the LGBTQ+ community is fighting for the right to choose their own partners freely, not be forced into any relationship.

There are also some stage plays where men are made to play female roles due to the lack of female actors in a troupe. In Shakespeare's time, for instance, young boys often played female characters. This was a necessity because women were not allowed to act on stage. These boys had to study and imitate the mannerisms, voices, and behaviors of women, which was a form of being 'forced' to be girls in a sense for the sake of the performance.

There was a couple who worked at the same part - time job during their summer vacation as students. They bonded over their shared love for music. Their first love grew as they spent more time together. Years later, they got married. Their story shows that first love can start in the most unexpected places and lead to a beautiful marriage.

In a small village in India, a boy and a girl grew up together. They were childhood friends. As they grew older, their friendship turned into love. But in the village, there were traditional norms that didn't easily accept love marriages. Their families were initially against it. They tried to separate them by sending the boy to another city for work. But the two stayed in touch secretly. After a while, the boy returned with a better job offer. He was able to prove to the families that he could take good care of the girl, and they finally got married.

There is 'The Unwanted Union' which shows a more dramatic take on their forced marriage. It might include elements like family pressure and the struggle for Bella to fit into the vampire world in this unexpected marital state. It's full of twists and turns that keep the readers engaged.

There could be stories where in a patriarchal society, a wife was forced to follow strict rules. For example, in some feudal - era stories, a wife might be forced to stay within the household bounds, not allowed to pursue her own interests or education. But this is more of a general theme that might be explored in various works rather than a specific 'wifed forced stories' genre.

One example could be in some works where social or family pressure is misconstrued as 'forcing' a lesbian relationship in the plot. However, such stories are often complex and controversial as they may touch on issues like misrepresentation. But in some historical novels, for instance, a female character might be pushed into a relationship with another woman due to lack of other options in a very restricted society.

There are also folktales from different cultures. In some Asian folktales, a wife might be forced to endure hardships when her husband goes off to war or on a long journey. She has to take on all the family responsibilities alone, facing poverty and the judgment of society. This shows the strength and resilience that wives in such stories often display.
