Proceeding contribution from Lord Sheikh (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 10 May 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Forced Marriage (Civil Protection) Bill [HL].
Forced Marriage (Civil Protection) Bill [HL]
The Minister referred to children. A case was reported in the papers last week in which an 11 year-old girl was rescued from a forced marriage situation in Bangladesh. Obviously, in some overseas countries a boy or girl does not have to be 16 to be married. Can the Minister make any comment regarding situations such as this one where children are taken abroad, perhaps under a pretext, and a forced marriage arises?
