Summary
That this House congratulates and thanks the members of the Working Group on Forced Marriage for their excellent and balanced report on this subject; recognises that they took on a difficult, controversial and demanding role which may well result in criticisms from their own communities, where there is still a reluctance to accept that a problem exists; however, is quite certain that they will have the affection and gratitude of the very many young people who are forced into a marriage achieved frequently by ill-treatment followed by unhappiness and often tragedy; and hopes that the report will represent a turning point in the history and fortunes of this country's ethnic minority communities, which will ultimately lead to all of our young people having a choice by right.
