“More than a third of cases related to Pakistan but the number of Somalian cases has increased by a massive 100 per cent year on year.”
Welcome to Theresa May’s brave, new multicultural Britain. Celebrate diversity! Diversity is our strength! This practice results from the dehumanization and commodification of women in Islam. With polygamy (Qur’an 4:3) and wife-beating allowed (Qur’an 4:34) and women’s testimony (Qur’an 2:282) and inheritance rights (Qur’an 4:11) devalued, and Islamic law making women essentially the possessions of first their fathers and then their husbands, this sort of thing is bound to happen. And in Britain continues its race to chaos and Sharia, there is going to be much, much more of it.
“New figures show scale of forced marriages in the UK – with one child as young as two rescued,” by Lynn Davidson, The Sun, May 11, 2018:
A TOT aged TWO was Britain’s youngest ‘victim’ of forced marriage in Britain last year, shock official figures revealed yesterday.
The Home Office revealed the toddler was one of 1,196 cases dealt with by officials investigating potential forced marriages by expat families in the UK last year.
The oldest involved a 100 year-old pensioner.
The infant was one of 355 children under 18 helped by the Government’s Forced Marriage Unit last year.
One in five cases related to male victims.
More than a third of cases related to Pakistan but the number of Somalian cases has increased by a massive 100 per cent year on year.
The FMU dealt with 1,196 cases last year – a decline of 19 per cent on 2016.
But experts said that did not represent a reduction in the number of forced marriages in Britain….
Since 2012, the facility has provided support in between 1,200 and 1,400 cases per year….
It added: “Forced marriage is a hidden crime, and these figures may not reflect the full scale of the abuse.”

Some might consider this insanity comes from an infinitesimally small fringe group, but you’d be wrong. Here is the second largest Muslim country in the world (Pakistan) where the Council of Islamic Ideology states you can marry, straight from the cradle, according to Islamic law.

They’re currently only about 4%-5% of the UK population, although most of them apparently seem to think they ‘re about 70% and behave as if they own the place.
Jay says
A survey done in 2015 said that 5% of people in the UK said they were Muslim. The numbers would have gone up a bit since then.
Anne Smith says
A recent official report, commissioned by the Government, revealed that large numbers of Muslims think they are living in a Muslim country and some Councils up north are totally made up of Muslim Councillors. On one Council all the members had imported Pakistani wives who did not speak English.
Many of these imported wives speak no English and live in their own Pakistani Muslim communities. It is not surprising they believe they are living in a Muslim country. Unlike the USA where immigrants have to obey the USA traditions and their children have to swear loyalty to the country in school, no such integrating measures are practised in Britain. Instead of integration we have the Government’s favourite principle of “multiculturalism”, which they promote as a wonderful thing. Actually it just means ghettos of different cultures in separate parts of towns and cities and the immigrant populations following their own traditions and laws and more or less ignoring those of the host country. They are even bending the state schools curricula and uniforms to accommodate their own imported beliefs.

Grimly true, Steve.

Not to worry. The marriage isn’t consummated until the “bride” is 9 yrs old — almost an old lady.

And the penalty to the parents and the pervert is?

Forced marriage was a commonplace in Western societies until fairly recently. In many Western countries women were not permitted to take out bank accounts or mortgages without a husband or father’s permission within living memory. Our record on the issue of women’s rights is hardly beyond reproach, certainly not enough to justify the holier than thou attitude so many of you are adopting.
Marco says
Far as I know we weren’t marrying off 2 year olds and buggering 9 year olds. This is 2018 we have learned and evolved but you muslims can’t do that.
David says
Marriages to girls as young as twelve were not uncommon in medieval Europe. And in early Victorian Britain the age of consent was still twelve, leading to widespread child prostitution. If we have learned and evolved as you say, it’s a very recent development, comparatively speaking.
Of course Islamic societies are hampered by the uncompromising nature of their religious texts. The New Testament may make some problematic statements about about women, but there’s none of the overt misogyny of the Koran and hadith that definitively state that women are morally and intellectually inferior.
Nonetheless, given how recent our support for women’s rights actually is, a little humility on the issue might be warranted.
Vulpert says
Luckily we have come forward in the western world – according to you, the last 100 years.
1600 hundred years, and still not in progress….
somehistory says
No one…no one…should call this “marriage.”
A child cannot get ‘married.” A child gets raped…over and over and over…unless the first time kills.
Trying to justify this slimy demonic “practice” by comparing it to “women’s right’s” doesn’t make this disgusting account any less disgusting.
Having a “bank account” or “taking out a mortgage”….no comparison whatsoever.

Ah, yes–the “centuries ago you were as bad as Muslims, so you have to roll over for every savagery of Islam” gambit. Try again, creep.
LR says
The only good thing about this is at least the gov’t is investigating many of these cases, and there are organizations for girls to call and get support to escape forced marriage…We in the west can at least support these organizations, and demand our law enforcement agencies prosecute the adults responsible.
Pester, pester, pester through phone calls, and letter writing…Continued confrontation, and demands towards politicians, and others who slack off in not upholding our laws, and not demanding assimilation is one very easy thing to do…We can at least do that!…

I submit a quote of the founder of the current Iranian religious dictatorship – Ayatollah Khomeini, in his Tahrir ol vasyleh. “A man can have sexual pleasure from a child as young as a baby. However he should not penetrate [her vagina], sodomizing is OK. If a man penetrates and damages the child then he should be responsible for her subsistence all of her life. This girl, however, does not count as one of his four permanent wives. The man will not be eligible to marry the girl’s sister.” Translated into English by Darol Elm, Qom Iran 1990.
Paul says
Note the 100 year old woman. It’s a scam to get a “husband” into the country.
To wake people up we should be allowed to talk about these matters but any mention is raysist.

Almost certainly so, Paul.

UK: 1,200 cases of forced marriage annually — one involving a two-year-old child
……………….
I’m sure there are many more cases that British authorities never hear about.
God, I hate Islam.
