Our work
With more families moving abroad, issues of forced marriage, female genital mutilation and honour-based violence are often dealt with by way of court proceedings.
In such serious cases, we can help if:
- You are worried that you, a family member or friend is at risk of forced marriage, FGM or honour-based abuse
- You have been accused of forcing someone to marry, perpetrating honour-based abuse or perpetrating/planning for someone to undergo FGM
- You are applying to discharge forced marriage protection orders
- You are applying to vary forced marriage protection orders/other court orders that prohibit travel abroad
We can also advise on associated issues of police involvement, domestic abuse protection orders, parental disputes and social services involvement
