I've spoken before about having a friend and her sister who were taken out of the UK and married at 13 and 14. This article shows that this practise is still alive and kicking and girls are being advised to hide spoons to set off airport alarms. Surely more can be done to protect these girls and stronger penalties should be introduced for those involved in forcing them to marraige. This is no better than trafficking.
