Who should be able toÌýstop a forced marriage?
Forced Marriage is back on the political agenda. Under the new Forced Marriage Act, third parties, like teachersÌýand women’s groups, can apply for a protection order to prevent a forced marriage -Ìýwithout the consent of the victim. A government consultation is asking relevant organisations for their views on who should be able to ask the courts to take action to stop a forced marriage. Bridget Prentice, the Government Minister in charge of the consultation, andÌýJasvinder Sanghera, Founder and Director of Karma Nirvana Asian Women's Project joinÌýJenni to discuss the proposed legislation.
