Darker skin and marriage prospects

Nihal asks if darker-skinned people find it harder to find a marriage partner. Plus he talks to Nazir Afzal, former head of the Crown Prosecution Service in the north west.

Is it still harder to find a partner if you're darker skinned? A blog post about a 28-year-old woman from Germany who has been rejected by prospective marriage suitors because of her skin color has sparked this debate. Do you think this is an issue among British Asians? Later, the former head of the Crown Prosecution Service for the North-West Nazir Afzal discusses terrorism, grooming and the legal system. Also, Nihal speaks to Manoj Kerai, author of 'The Burning Bride', which looks at issues facing Indian women.
