Marriage: Fraud
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 3 March 2023 to Question 157620 on Marriage Fraud, how many individuals have been reported for fraudulent marriage to a foreign citizen by email and post; how many times this has led to her Department cancelling a right to remain; and how many of these individuals have been removed from the UK.
- Answer
-
Whilst Home Office Immigration Enforcement publishes information relating to the number of allegations it receives each quarter, allegations relating specifically to fraudulent marriage are not reported upon separately and it is not possible to provide information relating to the number of these allegations received.
The Home Office do not record where information detailing relationship breakdowns are sent from, nor do they record the reason for the relationship failure.
The specific information requested relating to returns is not available in our published data. Our published data on returns is available at the following link:
