doctrine of coercion

Read a random definition: Duchy of Lancaster

A quick definition of doctrine of coercion:

The doctrine of coercion refers to the use of physical force or threats to compel someone to do something against their will. This can include criminal acts, accusations, or the withholding of official action. It can also refer to the improper use of economic power to force someone to submit to the wishes of another. Historically, the doctrine of coercion was used to describe a husband's control over his wife's actions, but this has been abolished. Coercion is not legal and can invalidate actions such as signing a will or entering into a marriage.

A more thorough explanation:

The doctrine of coercion refers to the use of physical force or the threat of physical force to compel someone to do something against their will. It can also refer to the improper use of economic power to force someone to submit to the wishes of the person who wields it.

  • Signing a will under threat of physical harm is not legally valid.
  • A marriage that was entered into under duress or coercion can be invalidated.
  • Criminal coercion involves threatening to commit a crime against someone, accusing them of a crime, exposing a secret that would harm their reputation, or taking or withholding official action.

These examples illustrate how coercion can be used to manipulate or control someone's actions, often against their will. It is important to recognize and prevent coercion in order to protect individuals from harm and ensure that their rights are respected.
