2013-03-05 BBC: Kaksivuotiaat vaarassa joutua pakkoavioliittoon

[Aeon]

BBC uutisoi pakkoavioliitoista:

A two-year-old was among at least 250 children in the UK helped last year by a unit which tackles forced marriages.

While there is a long-standing tradition of arranged marriages in Asian communities that have the consent of those taking part, forced marriages can involve kidnapping and physical and mental abuse.

The Forced Marriage Unit's report said there were 114 cases of forced marriage involving people with disabilities, and 22 cases involving victims who identified themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender.

Noin 250 pakkoavioliittoa siis paljastui. Oikea luku lienee moninkertainen.

Tämä on varmaan niitä monikulttuurin hyviä puolia, koska uutisessa ei kerrota kenenkään kuolleen.

Murrosikäisillä on jo sen verran omaa tahtoa, että osa pakkonaitettavista pitää kunniamurhata.
