We made forced marriage a criminal offence in 2014 to better protect victims and send a clear message that this abhorrent practice is totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated in the UK. To date, there have been four convictions under the offence.</p><p>Due to the small numbers of referrals, charges and convictions this information is not available by geographic location to prevent the risk of victims being identified. This is important as victims of Forced Marriage may have the protection of lifetime anonymity.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 23/11/2018 14:13:02 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
