A new law in England and Wales will 'help to increase identification and reporting, affording greater protection to children at risk', a campaigner says.
A new law in England and Wales will"help to increase identification and reporting, affording greater protection to children at risk", a campaigner says.Young people aged 16 and 17 are now legally banned from marrying in England and Wales.
Ms Rattu said she hoped the new law would"help to increase identification and reporting, affording greater protection to children at risk".Justice Secretary Dominic Raab said perpetrators would face the"full force of the law".In 2021, the government's forced marriage unit provided advice or support in 118 cases involving victims aged under 18.Figures for England and Wales in 2018 show 28 boys married under the age of 18, compared with 119 girls.
"Those who act to manipulate children into marrying under-age will now rightly face the full force of the law."
