Forced Marriages

What is a forced marriage?

In a forced marriage you are coerced into marrying someone against your will. You may be physically threatened or emotionally blackmailed to do so. It is an abuse of human rights and cannot be justified on any religious or cultural basis. If you or someone you know is being forced into marriage either in the UK or abroad, you can contact the Forced Marriage Unit (FMU) on 020 7008 0151
