How can a person be protected from being forced into a marriage?
Correct Answer: Court orders can be obtained to protect a person from being forced into a marriage
In the UK, forcing someone to marry against their will is a criminal offence.
A person at risk of being forced into a marriage can apply to the courts for a Forced Marriage Protection Order (FMPO), which can be granted to prevent the marriage taking place.
The Forced Marriage Unit (FMU), run jointly by the Foreign Office and Home Office, also offers help to those at risk. This protection reflects the UK's commitment to individual freedom and the right to choose one's own spouse.
