Forced To Marry
Synopsis
A disturbing insight into the world of forced marriages of under aged girls in the UK from the award-winning producers of Banaz: An Honour Killing.
In Forced To Marry we will tackle a highly controversial issue that is often simply swept under the carpet - because of fear of retribution against those who speak out, and out of a misplaced concern about social and cultural sensitivities.
Focusing on serious allegations that Imams here in the UK are prepared to marry young girls against their will in British mosques we will discover that many of them are prepared to carry out the ‘niqah’ or marriage ceremony in secret.
We will hear first hand from British Asian women who were forced into marriage while under age and even taken to a remote area of Pakistan only for them to be forced to marry a total stranger.
