Forced Marriage statistics

Information on the number of cases reported to the government’s Forced Marriage Unit via its public helpline and email inbox during a particular calendar year.

The Forced Marriage Unit (FMU) is a joint Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Home Office unit working on the government’s forced marriage policy, outreach and casework. It operates both inside the UK, where support is provided to any individual, and overseas, where consular assistance is provided to British nationals, including dual nationals.
