Legal Terms - forced marriage protection order
A legal order granting protection to an actual or potential victim of a forced marriage. The court possesses extensive authority to incorporate various provisions, including those that prohibit a potential victim from being removed from the UK for the purpose of overseas marriage or that prevent an individual (usually a family member) from harassing or contacting a woman who has departed the family and sought sanctuary elsewhere. A request for such an order may be submitted by the victim or a third party, such a relative or educator. A violation of an order constitutes a criminal offense.
