Arranged marriage protection work covers situations where a marriage is being planned or pressured but may contravene an individual’s rights. In England, solicitors handle cases arising under safeguarding provisions and anti-coercion measures, including applications for Forced Marriage Protection Orders and other protective orders. A solicitor acts to obtain protection, advise on options, liaise with local authorities, the police, and social services, and coordinate with the family court to secure the person’s safety and freedom to consent. The work often involves assessing capacity, gathering supporting evidence, and arranging relevant support services.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The decisive protections are the ability to seek and enforce Forced Marriage Protection Orders, which can prohibit coercive conduct and set conditions for safety. A solicitor will prepare the application, present evidence in the family court, and respond to any challenges, while coordinating with safeguarding bodies and keeping the person’s welfare at the centre of the process.
