Book excerpt: Longlisted for the 2022 Inner Temple New Authors Award “an impressive book... a pleasurable and, at times, compelling read... an ambitious project, but...skilfully realised” The Honourable Mr Justice Hayden, Vice President of the Court of Protection, in the Foreword to the book Forced Marriage Law and Practice is a comprehensive and practical treatment of the law and practice in this field, incorporating criminal, family and Court of Protection elements.

The book is divided into five parts which look at: - The definition of forced marriage, setting out the law and types of forced marriage in seven sections: prevention; punishment; remedies following a forced marriage; forced marriage and human rights; honour-based forced marriage; forced marriage involving vulnerable individuals and those lacking capacity; and organised exploitation and marriage for immigration purposes. - The law and procedure in the family jurisdiction, including both matrimonial and protective remedies - The procedure and relevant law for bringing and defending forced marriage related prosecutions in the criminal jurisdiction - The law, procedure and relevance of Court of Protection proceedings - Matters of best practice Forced Marriage Law and Practice helps the reader to access the relevant law, and includes summaries of applicable law (both international and domestic), all in one text, facilitating a holistic approach to cases of forced marriage. This is an essential title for family, crime and Court of Protection practitioners, as well as for other legal advisers and representatives, CPS lawyers, local authorities, human rights organisations, charities, students and academics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Towards the end of 2008, news audiences in the United Kingdom followed the story of Humayra Abedin, a 33-year-old NHS doctor from East London who was allegedly being held captive in her native Bangladesh by her parents who planned to force her to marry a husband they deemed suitable for her. Abedin sought help, and returned to the United Kingdom on the 16th of December after the High Court had issued an injunction ordering the parents of Abedin to free her. This story does not stand alone: most Western European countries know of similar cases. According to Razack, such cases have signalled the beginning of European legal involvement in the area of forced marriages. Since the 1990s, forced marriage has become a hot political issue in several European countries. The aim of the study was to create an international and actual overview on the policy on forced marriages in Western Europe. Seeing that the study deals with debates and policy it is necessary to emphasise here that the topic of the study was not so much actual cases of forced marriage as the perception of forced marriage in the different countries. The central question was then to examine what is known about the policy and discussions on forced marriages in Belgium, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. Instead of focusing exclusively on policy, a choice was made for including the societal context in the form of debates on forced marriage in order to have a more complete overview.

Book excerpt: "This research paper focuses on UK resident children and young people under 18 years of age. A forced marriage is a marriage in which one or both spouses do not (or, in the case of some vulnerable adults, cannot) consent to the marriage and duress is involved. The majority of FMs involve a young female victim, but young men can also be victims. Around one-third of the cases handled by the FMU involve children under 18 years of age. This research paper reports on the findings of a Government study that aimed to improve the understanding of the prevalence of forced marriages, and to examine the way in which services are currently responding to the issue."--Dept. of Education.

Download or read book Forced Marriage written by Aisha Gill and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forced Marriage: Introducing a social justice and human rights perspective brings together leading practitioners and researchers from the disciplines of criminology, sociology and law. Together the contributors provide an international, multi-disciplinary perspective that offers a compelling alternative to prevailing conceptualisations of the problem of forced marriage. The volume examines advances in theoretical debates, analyses existing research and presents new evidence that challenges the cultural essentialism that often characterises efforts to explain, and even justify, this violation of women's rights. By locating forced marriage within broader debates on violence against women, social justice and human rights, the authors offer an intersectional perspective that can be used to inform both theory and practical efforts to address violence against diverse groups of women. This unique book, which is informed by practitioner insights and academic research, is essential reading for practitioners and students of sociology, criminology, gender studies and law.
