The process of approving the law in Canada against "barbaric cultural practices" has been completed and it became effective on Thursday, according to the Toronto-based CIJnews.
The law was passed on to the Senate on November 5, 2015 under the name "Zero Tolerance for Barbaric Cultural Practices Act," with the aim to provide better protection for immigrants deemed at greater risk of physical injury, primarily women and girls who had immigrated to Canada.
As part of this, new immigrants married to more than one wife or who were convicted of crimes against women in their home countries will not be allowed to emigrate to Canadian soil, and immigrants currently in the country may be extradited to their home countries even without a previous conviction if found guilty of bigamy, the law stated.
Civil marriage shall be determined by law, it added, and second marriages shall be considered valid only with the free consent of both spouses in the event of remarriage after a civil divorce.
The laws also stipulate, clearly, that 16 is the minimum age for marriage and that the marriage of any two citizens between the ages of 16-18 can only be finalized with parental consent from both sides.
Forced marriages are now a criminal act, and all parties - including parents, any religious officials, and any other authority involved in the union - could now be tried, convicted, and sentenced to up to 5 years' prison time.
That ban will now also include taking children under 16 to foreign nations for the express purpose of forced marriage - an all-too-common trend in immigrant Muslim communities across the globe which may be increasing, according to a recent documentary on the subject in Vice News.

There’s a (very pretty) canyon near Moab, Utah called Negro Bill Canyon. But that’s not what it says on the 1911 era topo map for the area.

This will interfere grievously with the Aleutians’ time-honored custom of putting old woman and newborn girls out on the frozen ice to be eaten by polar bears. They might even have to open an Aleutian nursing home and orphanage. And what if nanuk wants to let his friend have nookie with his wife, and she’s not in the mood? Can he still force her to put out?
The ex has to okay wifey #2

They have the courage to call it barbaric. Now expel them.
Canada has already outlawed conservative pastors who read aloud what the Bible says about homosexuality.
Just think, if the US had had a law like this in the early 1960's, BO might not be here.
The article didn’t mention FGM, but I hope doctors are on notice to report instances where girls have been sent back to the ME for that particular ‘cultural barbarity’ & it gets the entire family kicked out of the country.

Put the victimized female juvenile in foster care. That will complicate deportation, but will prevent them from completing the procedure.
The US didn’t have a law like this back then? It doesn’t have a law like this now? Call Ted Cruz.
Huh?
I know. Does Canada have bicameral legislative branch, too?/s
