What horrific thing to do to ones child,how anyone could do this is beyond me.She says he wanted her pregnant to get his way into the uk,is that an automatic right if your wife/husband is a citizen of the uk?.I would hope you would still need to pass some sort of desirability check.

This is appalling. The Forced Marriages Unit does a pretty good job though - in so far as they are able. The trouble is many young girls are taken abroad. Game over. Many others do not have the ability or the courage to report it.

Rape is still a crime, whether married or not. The trouble is, if one is married to a UK citizen and there is a child, there is a potential claim under "right to family life".

I cannot help wondering whether the law should be changed to the fact that a marriage can only be recognised in the UK if the parties are over 21. For those who genuinely wish to marry before that age, perhaps judicial intervention is necessary. I dont know.

Certainly when I gave notice of my forthcoming marriage recently, we were both interviewed separately and alone, but that is for a marriage here.
Ah the joys of our immigration system.

If we do allow people from "third world" countries to come here we have to expect "third world" behaviour.

Forced marriages, honour killings, FGM etc etc

Sadly due to our terrible lax immigration control over the last 20 or 30 years we are now stuck with it.

And the country is a lot worse because of it.
Didn't know it's illegal, my foot. Which country have they been living in ? Never heard such rot. Any shame on the family started with (or prior to) the forced marriage, not the victim's reaction to it.

Forced marriage became a criminal offence in 2014, but only one case has been brought in Wales since then - with four convictions in total across the UK.//
A bit like fgm then, zero prosecutions for that despie it despite being illegal since 1985.
yep TROP knows how to heap misery on women.
For TTT what is TROP, I notice you have used it recently but haven't been able to find out what it means.
I think he means The Right On Brigade, but accuracy was never his strong point.
trop - the religion of peace
-- answer removed --
You do TROBs an injustice by suggesting they're Fs of J, TTT.

Like all sensible people they know there's a violent aspect to TROP and are F for frightened by it. Their sin is that, rather than trying to analyse the connection between the violent impulses and the culture in which it's seeded, they act like children by closing their eyes and blocking their ears, or they search for more comforting explanations like mental illness, or, and worse of all, they try to appease it.
Oh for goodness sake, can we stop with the ridiculous acronyms? They hardly add to sensible debate.
Agreed. Very childish.
This curious custom extends to children where marriage is not considered forced if the child agrees. Handy, eh? :o/
wrong again BB.
Ignorant barbarians.

All participants (except the victim obviously) in a forced marriage should be prosecuted, and the marriage anulled.

but as in this case she was abroad, they have a completely different attitude in places like Bangladesh, Pakistan.
emmie, but as in this case she was abroad, they have a completely different attitude in places like Bangladesh, Pakistan

ideally they should have never let people from these countries settle
here, there culture is backward and rooted in islam with all its misogyny, 7th century mindsets in the 21 century, that will never change, as the koran is...mmm the word of god.
fender i do agree with you, i was merely pointing out that they have very different customs and that forced marriage for many seems one of them.
“wrong again BB.”

And GLAD to be - glad to be totally ignorant of the sort of stuff that fills your skull.
bainbrig, do you have an opinion on this report?
