Forced Marriages and Honour Abuse Services
Forced Marriage Unit
If you’re trying to stop a forced marriage or need help leaving a marriage that you’ve been forced into the Forced Marriage Unit (FMU) can help you.
You have the right to choose who you marry, when you marry or if you marry at all. In fact it is against the law for someone to force you to marry without your consent. This includes being taken abroad or marrying someone who isn't mentally capable to make a decision on marriage.
By calling the FMU, they will give your free advice on what to do next. They too can help you find a safe place to stay should you need it and stop a UK visa if you’ve been forced to sponsor someone.
Call the FMU on 020 7008 0151 Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm or 020 7008 1500 (ask for Global Response Centre) out of hours. Contact the nearest British embassy if you’re already abroad.
