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.

Those poor girls are basically sold into slavery, including sexual, by their own families - absolutely sickening?

Is it?
Obviously there needs to be more that should be done, but it's normally quite hard to deal with Paedophile rings for numerous reasons.

The country these girls live in is the UK. They are taken from the UK and married abroad then return with a much older husband in tow. Girls as young as 13 and 14.

...it’s very sad that these forced things do happen..for me I guess..it’s a reason also for supporting immigration and multiculture...because in having to make the journey, this advice can be given which may prevent a few unhappy lives...?...rather than it all happen ‘within a country and within a culture’...and nothing be able to help in any way to try to prevent, which would be much more frustrating...even if it’s only effective for a few, then a few is at least something...

Some of the things my friend said to me after being taken out of the UK, out of London where we lived and married at 14 were horrible. They have never left memory. We are talking regular sexual assault (rape) on a girl of 14, sleep deprivation, violence. This was her school summer holidays at 14.

This is disgusting, but a pretty good way to do it.

I don't think this is a topic that should be joked about, tbh. So many men (and some women, but mainly men) make jokes, or minimalize this stuff, and anything to do with abuse of women/girls too actually.

I do personally think though that we do need some cheering up on this section of the Forum sometimes. And on the topic I do think that it's gonna be hard to implement a decent idea to stop paedophile rings, I honestly don't know if this idea is gonna work tbh.

There's no need to apologize, I know that I can rub people up the wrong way quite alot so the problem is more on my end.

The problem Mock isn't paedophile rings in forced marriage. It's parents. My friend was put in that position by her mother and her uncles.
And it really isn't funny. She used to talk of waking in the night with him on her and say when will it end. She hated it. I don't find her suffering funny, or the fact that this is still happening to other girls to the point where they are advised to hide spoons in their underwear at school if being taken on flights to be married, more than 25 years later. Though the reality in many cases is they don't even know until they get there.
