Forced marriage

No one should ever be forced into marriage and your safety and freedom should always come first.

Our specialist family lawyers provide clear and confidential advice to individuals at risk of forced marriage or seeking help after a forced marriage has taken place.

We act efficiently and sensitively to protect you and reduce further harm.

How we can help you

We provide trusted advice and representation in relation to:

  • Applications for Forced Marriage Protection Orders (FMPOs)
  • Emergency court applications where there is an immediate risk
  • Annulment or divorce of a forced marriage
  • Issues around domestic abuse and safeguarding

We can clearly explain your rights to you and advise on how to take legal action.

Protecting you from a forced marriage

Forced marriage is illegal in the UK and you should never feel threatened, pressured or coerced into marrying against your will.

We understand how difficult it can be to reach out for help, but we are here to handle your situation with discretion and care.

We will not share your information without your consent, unless required to do so to protect you or someone else from serious harm.

You are not alone during this difficult time. We will support you every step of the way and ensure you are legally protected.
