Forced marriages in the news again

Recommended Posts

Of course many Brits move abroad changing the fabric of other countries.

Getting smashed, using child prostitutes, drug use, fish & ruddy chips all over the place.

All started years ago with that ruddy colonial stuff. Made people speak English and forced Christianity on them.

Send the buggers back to the UK where they came from.

It would be more accurate if we said the problem was primarily in the Pakistani muslim community. This sort of thing died out within the Indian community a long time ago - perhaps a few isolated cases still exist - but essentially Pk muslim. The fact that many of these young women are from Bradford and Luton supports this.

 

I'm of Indian heritage and don't want this abominal practice to be connected with me.

 

So how do you explain the forced marriges and domestic violence in the Sikh community in West London around Southall and surrounding areas?

 

Most forced marriges in the Pakistani community are confined to one Pakistani community they are not widespread throughout all Pakistani communities. You do not know the difference between the Pakistani communities settled in the uk. For a start what you are calling Pakistani are not even Pakistani they are from rural villages in Azad Kashmir have a bradri (clan) system which they stick to in this country socialise within it marry within it support each other financially within it. This is quite different to Pakistanis who came to the uk from urban Panjab who are generally more educated and have blended in.

100 million arranged marriage's in the next decade according to Vine on Ch.5 this morning. Some as young as 8 years old. No wonder girls are willing to commit suicide to get out of marrying someone they neither know or love. Barbaric to say the least.

100 million arranged marriages where? Not in this country as there aren't enough people. You need at least 200 million, split 50-50 sex-wise, unless you're into polygamy. In any case an arranged marriage is not a forced marriage. Couples can agree to an arranged marriage or not. I worked many years ago with a Hindu whose wife he met through his arranged marriage that they both agreed to and they were both quite happy.

Only quoting what was said on Jeremy Vine old chap ! Who mentioned "forced?" The stats. pertained to countries where this abomination occurs, not the Uk.

Why would anyone want to spend the rest of their day,s with someone not chosen by themselves or their own feelings ? Baffles me !

Hmmm! Ì abstained from using the term 'forced' to keep the point factual as per the Ch.5 quote but! If a girl is taken against her free will under the age of 16 to be married in some backward country then Ì imagine that would be construed as 'forced'

Pot, kettle, black ?

As PT said, there is a huge difference with a forced marriage and an arranged marriage.

 

Arranged marriages are not even something totally unique with the sub continent nowadays as there have been various groups set up to help parent(s) choose the right partner for their son/daughter if the search has been going on for years.

 

I give personal example with my brother- he met his future wife from Denmark whilst he was and always has been a UK resident. The girl asked her parents to make contact with my parents as well as her and my brother chatting and then meeting- eventually deciding to marry.

 

She now works in UK as a dentist and both are happy, young and professional with aspirations to buy their second home.:)

There are Muslim run help lines for girls being forced into marriage.

Arranged marriage in fine if both agree, forced is rape.

what do you mean, "Pot Kettle, Black?" that bit makes no sense whatsoever

 

Also, how much younger than 16 are we talking about? Many countries that don't happen to have a Muslim Majority have marriage permitted at ages as young as 12 or 13.

Arranged marriages and forced marriages are equally abhorrent. An arranged marriage is merely a forced marriage where the participants are too afraid to object.

What about things like choice and freedom and love?:rant:
