The debate has been around both of those issues: criminalization of forced marriage, as well as use of immigration laws to control forced marriage. As I said, both are controversial. There is obviously no prosecution with the criminal law yet. We don't know if it's going to work, and there's a concern that it may make the situation worse. Immigration law, yes, but it only affects certain groups, migrant groups, within the country, and not generally everybody who's forcing someone into marriage. We have concerns. In fact, there's research evidence, as well as our experience, showing that immigration laws have not worked. The age-related policy, for example, did not work to protect victims of forced marriage. The Supreme Court agreed with us because it undermined the right to family life. There is absolutely no evidence to show that it can be effective. In fact, it can make it worse.
For us, immigration law is not going to resolve this problem. Forced marriage is about the control of female sexuality and autonomy. Families are going to go ahead and force victims into marriage regardless of the immigration law and even regardless of criminal law. At least we can look at other ways of trying to create cultural changes, as well as looking at measures around the response of state agencies, police, and social services, and strengthening the hands of the victims through civil law as far as we can.
