A couple in London has threatened their daughter that they willkill
her if she reject a marry they are trying to force her into, they
also threatened to behead if she attempt to report the case to the
authorities.
Crimes Central reports:
A judge has since granted a temporary forced marriage
protection order, banning the parents from leaving Britain, after the
local authority in Croydon, London, said it ‘did not trust them an inch’
and feared younger children in the family would be spirited out of
England if they were able to leave.
The girl, known as S, claims she suffered repeated violence at the
hands of her parents and grandmother as a teenager and was told she
would be killed if she refused to marry abroad as this would ‘bring
dishonour on the family.
She described a long history of being put under pressure to marry,
and when she spoke to authorities in 2005 about suffering ‘violence and
intimidation’ from her family she claimed her mother said her father
would ‘cut her head off’ if she ever raised issues again.
During a hearing at the Family Division of the High Court, Mr Justice
Holman granted a temporary forced marriage protection order until next
month.
