Britain’s Forced Marriage Unit (FMU) recorded over 1,400 victims in 2016, up from 1,200 the previous year. The Cyprus Mail reports that Pakistan accounted for 612 of the cases logged by the FMU, Bangladesh 121, India 79, Somalia 47, Afghanistan 39, and Saudi Arabia 16. Most forced marriages were conducted abroad with “only” 157 potential or actual forced marriages taking place in the Britain.
“When you get figures like this, the first reaction is, ‘this is absolutely horrendous’,” commented Aneeta Prem, founder of the Freedom Charity. “But the positive thing is people feel that they’re able to report it.”
However, Jasvinder Sanghera, who heads the forced marriage survivors charity Karma Nirvana, believes the crime still goes largely unreported.
“The victims are extremely isolated and the people who are abusing them are their nearest and dearest – family members. So you can imagine how difficult it is to report it in that environment,” she said.

Nobody’s surprised. The writer of this article gives the impression that the statistics are somewhat of a surprise, even incongruous, but, Britain isn’t Britain anymore....Would those statistics surprise you if they were about Baghdad? Probably not....What’s the difference between London and Baghdad these days. Not much, I’d suspect.
“But the positive thing is people feel that they’re able to report it.”
Hopefully, no type of prosecutions occur, otherwise the reporting may stop.
And, of course, that’s so much more important.
Like here in the states with illegals driving, licenses for underage marriages should be issued.
Problem solved.
What’s the difference between London and Baghdad these days?
Baghdad has better weather....................
Did they count the poor guy that had to marry Chelsea Clinton?
How many are between first cousins or within the same genetic line?
Inbreeding and a resultant lowered IQ is a huge problem growing larger every year.
Stupid people breeding more stupid people lead to stupid followers.
Pakistan is the most backward, corrupt, violent and in-bred nation on earth. Why any nation allows a citizen of that country within their borders is beyond me.
Sadly, it happens in the US, too. I had some clients with very low IQ kids. One kid in particular also had medical problems and died in the doctor’s office. He wasn’t the first to die. I finally got a sympathetic health dept. worker and, sure enough, just what I thought, mom and dad were half siblings according to their birth certificates. Another two couples were married double first cousins. You’d have done better talking to the wall than to them. Clueless white trash.
When ever they start putting the people in jail for same sex marriage then maybe i will consider this so called forced marriage thing, even though it has been going on for thousands of years and not just in the Moslem countries.
These "marriages" are a nullity in the eyes of the law and God and are simply serial rapes. The offenders should serve consecutively for each offense.
