Forced marriage is also slavery - the humiliation of a people pushed to the indignity of having to serve unwillingly, knowing full well that death was the alternative. And the purpose of forced marriage is also the genocide of what they consider "undesirables".
Why you're trying to pretend it's not, I don't know why.
You keep trying to claim that I'm saying forced marriage isn't genocide.
I'm saying forced marriage is not slavery because it literally just isn't. The woman still gets to pick a husband (so much as she was previously allowed to pick, whatever that is in that society). As a wife, the law has obligations to protect her. Her husband also has legal obligations to her. She is not chattel. She is not property. She is not even required to preform manual labor without compensation.
A forced marriage is not sex slavery because these are different things.
A sex slave is a transactional object. They are not wives, they are not considered wives. They are considered property and may be traded at will by their owners, as any slave is. They are not preforming the work of a wife, they are preforming the work of a prostitute as worst, and an escort at best. There is no family relationship with them. They are not mothers. They are not treated as family. The masters have no legal obligations to the slaves.
These are just entirely different concepts.
