The fusion of immigration and multiculturalism problems generates new
legal challenges and a constitutional quandary focused on the Equality as a

constitutional principle and as a multiculturalism limit involves a constitutional answer
in relation to discriminatory practices that emerges from religious freedom, forced
marriages and other coercive behaviors suffered by immigrant women.
