Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Forced Marriage (Civil Protection) Bill [Lords].
Forced Marriage (Civil Protection) Bill [Lords]
Would the hon. Gentleman apply that principle in general to marriages contracted in this country? He knows that people like Paul Kenyon, who works for the BBC, have done very good work exposing the bogus marriage business. I have always had an inkling of a view that before registrars sign people up for next Saturday week, they ought to see the two parties separately to discover whether there is a valid marriage in prospect, rather than a contrived one.
