Forced Marriages OK in the UK

By Aussiegirl

Drip, drip, drip, a little at a time, sharia law makes inroads in the West.

lgf: Forced Marriages OK in the UK

Forced Marriages OK in the UK

The custom of forced marriages, practiced almost exclusively by Britain’s Muslim community, is given an official pass by the British government: Forced marriage law ‘not needed’. (Hat tip: Niall.)

The Home Office has decided a specific law to ban forced marriages in the UK is not needed.

Ministers had asked groups and individuals if there should be a law criminalising the act of forcing someone into marriage.

Most thought the disadvantages of a new law would outweigh the advantages, and possibly drive the practice of forced marriages underground.

Great post, Aussie!

I LOVED this:

That is like arguing that a ban on slavery will drive the practice underground, so we don`t need one.

I fear Britain has lost her collective marbles.
