Forced marriages: Bristol area sees ‘significant rise’

The number of people involved in forced marriages in the Bristol area has risen “significantly”, police have said.

Avon and Somerset Police said there had been a noticeable rise in forced marriages over the past five years.

They said young people were often taken abroad in the summer and not “missed” until September.

Det Ch Insp Dave McCallum said only the “tip of the iceberg” was known and the scale of the problem was “not fully recognised” in the city.

The force said it was “difficult to provide specific figures” as each case was recorded differently depending on the circumstances.

But Det Ch Insp McCallum said he had dealt with cases in which marriage was used to “address the perceived moral decline” of behaviour and sexual victimisation and assault were common in such arrangements.

As well as young women, men have also been targeted in the region.

‘Family dishonour’

“I ran downstairs, grabbed my passport and tried to do a runner, but because I’d never been there before I didn’t know where I was running to.

“It was a bit of a family dishonour, they were practically beating me up. I was put under house arrest or guard, anywhere I went.

“At the time I was thinking am I going to get out of this alive?”
