Don't worry. I tried the link again and it now works. Reading now.
Firstly forced marriages are not approved of or condoned in Islam. I'm really not sure how you concluded what you did from reading that article.
Quote:
But yesterday Home Office minister Baroness Scotland said no such crime would be created, for fear that it would do more harm than good by driving the practice further underground, with victims discouraged from coming forward for fear that their parents would be jailed.
In a consultation exercise almost half of those with experience of forced marriage were either in favour or partially in favour of a new law. But overall some 80 per cent of respondents believed new legislation would not be in the best interest of victims, with little support among police or prosecutors.

Don't you think it is possible that the Government didn't put the laws thru because of the opinion of those that enforce the law such as police and prosecutors and also don't you think they considered the victims of such crimes? Spare me your "Islam first" BS! You really are clutching at straws highlighting this article as another example of your liberal/lefty and Islam conspiracy theory.
