UK POLICE CRACKDOWN ON FORCED MARRIAGES

Police across the UK began the first ever national crackdown on forced marriage at a number of airports on Monday as latest figures show a spike in children being trafficked abroad to marry family members or acquaintances.

The most common destinations are seen as India, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, Somalia and Bangladesh.

A number of support charities have joined police alongside social and health services in working with the Border Force for Operation Limelight.
