Everyone
in Britain, whatever their religion or belief, has the right to choose
whether to get married and who they want to marry. But in some cases - more
often than we might think - people are forced into marriage. Sometimes it might
be to someone they don’t like or have never even met. Sometimes they are too
young to get married (sometimes as young as 12 or 13) or don’t feel ready to
marry at all. And sometimes it might be that they are lesbian or gay and do not
want to marry someone of the opposite sex. This
website provides advice, information and essential
contacts to help people out of a forced marriage. It might be you, it might
be someone you know, or you might just want to find out more about this issue
so that you can play a part in helping somebody who may be at risk or already
in a forced marriage. There are lots of voluntary and community organisations
that provide safe, confidential support, shelter and advice to rebuild a
productive, independent life. The law can protect
victims too.There is always a way
out, and here is where to find it.
