I WAS concerned to read that forced marriages in Bradford had topped 400 last year, it was even suggested that the figure could be much higher.

The article highlighted a case of a 14 year old girl who was “married off”. As she was under age, I would hope the girl’s family and groom were prosecuted, as this clearly is not acceptable in our culture. It really is about time the government acted to stop this foul tradition as the once- tolerant British society is beginning to lose its rag.

Forced marriage is just another by-product of the destructive policies of multiculturalism, letting minority groups play by their own rules is clearly not a good idea. Could we imagine how much worse this might get if we introduced some aspects of Sharia Law in to Britain as some are proposing?
