The Family Division of the High Court recently exercised its inherent jurisdiction to prevent a vulnerable adult from being force into marriage.

It also examines the impact of enacting the proposals contained in the Government Consultation Paper 'Forced Marriage - A Wrong not a Right' which considers criminalising various activities associated with forced marriage.
