The Ministry of Justice has launched a consultation on implementation of the Forced Marriage Act 2007.
Under the Act a third party may apply for a Forced Marriage Protection Order without the permission of the court.
This consultation asks what need there is for relevant third parties, what type of people or organisations should act and what safeguards are needed.
The closing date for the consultation is 14 March 2008
The consultation paper and questionnaire can be found on the Ministry of Justice website via this link - http://www.justice.gov.uk/publications/cp3107.htm
