Forced Marriage Guideline Case

Family Divsion of the High Court, Sir Nicholas Wall P [2010] EWCA Fam 2438

 

...  provides 'general guidance about the way in which the issues arising in forced marriage cases can be addressed' including cases both of  'honour violence' and 'forced marriage' when disclosure may place the source of such information at risk of serious harm, and in circumstances where the subject of forced marriage protection orders may still be living with one or more of the defendant(s). Guidance is also provided as to ''whether or not it is appropriate to invite the Attorney  General to appoint special advocates to enable affected parties to deal with information which the police do not wish to be disclosed.'
