Know your rights

• Everyone has the right to CHOOSE who they marry, this is your fundamental right.  The law in Britain will help protect you against a forced marriage. We offer confidential help and advice, we will not contact your family. 
• Families might put pressure on a victim, or even use emotional blackmail, saying that if they do not agree to a forced marriage then they are going against their religion. This is not true.  

If your family have planned a trip abroad and you think you may be forced into marriage while you are there, make sure you know what to do before you go.

 Forced marriage can happen to anyone, male or female, at any age. Don’t suffer in silence, help is available. Get in touch today
