I honestly don't know, sorry. I'm afraid I'm not in your country, so I'm not familiar with how laws for a section work.

I know that here in the US, they can force you into eating disorder treatment/feeding tubes/tube feeds. I've been put on a psych hold and sent inpatient for an eating disorder because I was medically unstable, and they used that as saying I was unable to care for myself. If I had refused to eat while there, they would have gotten a court order for a feeding tube, etc.

So I'd imagine they could, I am just unsure what would be involved and it would depend on your individual circumstances. I don't say that as a means to scare you, only to be honest with the fact that it can be medically dangerous, and people do die from not eating. It can lead to things like heart issues/abnormalites, heart attacks, electrolyte imbalances, etc. even while being normal or overweight according to BMI.
