Episode 23

An-uiridh ann an Alba rinn an Forced Marriages Unit aig Riaghaltas Bhreatainn rannsachadh air còrr is dà fhichead suidheachadh ceangailte ri pòsaidhean an aghaidh toil. Ann am Breatann air fad, chaidh na h-àireamhan suas an-uiridh seach mar a bha iad am bliadhna roimhe. A-nis ged-thà ann an Alba tha Bile nam Pòsaidhean an aghaidh toil a' dol tron Phàrlamaid is a h-uile dùil gum bi e na lagh as t-fhoghar. Tha Darren Linc a' sireadh bheachdan mun Bhile ann an Glaschu is Dùn Èideann, far a bheil a' mhòr-chuid de choimhearsnachdan Àisianach na h-Alba is far a bheil pòsaidhean an aghaidh toil nas bitheanta.

Last year the UK Government's Forced Marriages Unit looked into more than 40 cases of forced marriage in Scotland. In Britain as a whole the numbers rose last year compared to the year before. Now the Forced Marriages (Scotland) Bill is making its way through Holyrood, with all signs pointing to it becoming law in August. Tonight on Eòrpa Darren Laing looks at the reaction to the Bill in Glasgow and Edinburgh, home to most of Scotland's Asian population and where forced marriages are more common.
