UK: Forced marriages could become a criminal offence

Via the Daily Telegraph:
Forcing someone to marry against their will could become a criminal offence under plans set out by Prime Minister David Cameron today.

Mr Cameron announced he was making it a criminal offence to breach an order issued by the courts to prevent a forced marriage and he has asked Home Secretary Theresa May to consult on whether the practice should be made an offence in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
