Couple Threatened to Kill Their Daughter for Refusing Forced Marriage

A couple in
London has threatened their daughter that they
willkill her if she reject a marry they are trying to
force her into, they also threatened to behead if
she attempt to report the case to the authorities.
Crimes Central reports:
A judge has since granted a temporary
forced marriage protection order, banning
the parents from leaving Britain, after the
local authority in Croydon, London, said it
'did not trust them an inch' and feared
younger children in the family would be
spirited out of England if they were able to
leave.
The girl, known as S, claims she suffered
repeated violence at the hands of her
parents and grandmother as a teenager and
was told she would be killed if she refused to
marry abroad as this would 'bring dishonour
on the family.
She described a long history of being put
under pressure to marry, and when she
spoke to authorities in 2005 about suffering
'violence and intimidation' from her family
she claimed her mother said her father
would 'cut her head off' if she ever raised
issues again.
During a hearing at the Family Division of
the High Court, Mr Justice Holman granted a
temporary forced marriage protection order
until next month.
