UK: Supreme Court outlaws Government ban on marriage-immigrants under 21

Via the Daily Mail:
Banning foreign spouses aged between 18 and 21 from entering the UK is not a lawful way of dealing with the problem of forced marriages, the Supreme Court ruled today.

(...)

Today the highest court in the land rejected the appeal by Home Secretary Theresa May and ruled that the ban on 18 to 21-year-old foreign spouses coming into the country was 'arbitrary and disruptive'.

It comes as Prime Minister David Cameron promises to make forced marriages a criminal offence for the first time as he condemned them as 'little more than slavery'.
