Hugh. I don't have any evidence for my thoughts, no.
do you have an opinion on forced marriages in general, or anything to do with the subject. or shall we just argue about semantics and get the thread closed as usual?

It may be their way of life. but it's what they've brought over with them. it's not acceptable in this country, and it's not about being against anyone in particular. it's being against what happens to the children who have grown up in this country.
they probably have no intention of leaving this country. so it's not just a thing some may have to put up with for a short time. the children may want to grow up differently to their olders and the same as others around them.
if it's seen as interfering in their business, then shame on us.
