A law that would prosecute parents or anybody involved in forcing a young girl into marriage would be a definite deterrent. Just knowing that they can be criminalized for doing this, which is the law in England now.... It was brought into place about a year after Honor Diaries came out. It is now a law and parents have been prosecuted for forcing their girls to marry. That again is as a result of awareness. It says that it's a criminal offence to be in any way a part of a situation where a young girl may be forced into a marriage, including parents, relatives, extended family, anyone who plays a role in this.
