Families who coerce their children into a forced marriage could face up to five years in jail under legislation to be announced by the Prime Minister this week.
The new law will criminalise the practice, which occurs in some ethnic communities.
Forcing someone into wedlock would become a criminal offence in its own right under the proposals.
I though it was illegal already. Those 7th century throwbacks should not be in England in the first place.
Is the book Peter Drucker on the Profession of Management a wedding present? Less than 6 bucks hardcover.
Is there anything worse than the abuse of children – in whatever guise? I don’t think so.
7th century throwbacks.. That’s a good one.
And a pity it is that these low bastards can’t be kicked out of the country straight away.
