What you can do if someone you know is at risk of forced Marriage
You can call the Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub on 01709 336080
Contact the Forced Marriage Unit (FMU) if you know someone who’s been taken abroad to be forced into marriage.
Give as many details as you can, for example:
- where the person has gone
- when they were due back
- when you last heard from them
The FMU will contact the relevant embassy.
If they are a British national, the embassy will try to contact the person and help them get back to the UK if that’s what they want.
I have been a victim of forced marriage, is there anywhere I can get more information?
