UK could raise the marriage age to try to stop forced weddings by ethnic minorities.

Government ministers are considering raising the minimum age for marriage in England and Wales from 16, as the phenomenon of children from minority communities being taken abroad for forced weddings intensifies.

Normally the marriage age is 18, but 16 and 17-year-olds are allowed to marry with parents’ consent — an important loophole because many forced marriage cases involve family pressure, and the consent of a parent. The newspaper report claims the issue is of particular interest to campaigners now because “the forced marriages of teenagers in Asian communities are often perpetrated by parents”.

Breitbart London reported in August on the abuse of young people in minority communities, with the government accused of turning a blind eye to the forced marriage, rape, and even impregnation of British-resident girls when taken abroad by family, often during school holidays. Instead of punishing those responsible, in potentially hundreds of cases, the rapists were given British visas to join their young brides instead.

While the British government logged 1,200 forced marriage cases in 2017, one forced marriage support charity said it received almost 13,000 calls for help to its hotline in just one year.

This problem is not really new, this has been happening for a long time, and the UK government has not taken decisive decisions to solve it.

Currently it is proposed to increase the age allowed for marriage with parental consent, that is, raise the allowed age from 14 to 16, which I think is quite valid and correct, this is done to prevent forced marriages, not However, I think that the measure is in itself a good measure regardless of the reasons, in fact, I still think that marriages should be possible only among people over 18, so I would propose that no one could still marry 16 or 17 years.

However, what I wanted to talk about is not about the age allowed to marry, nor is it my interest to talk about the reasons why the law is intended to be modified, which is mainly the abuses perpetrated by ethnic minorities formed by immigrants. What I want to talk about is something I have been saying in my different publications.

As I said earlier, as immigrants begin to generate problems in society, the government will have to start making legislation, in this case, a supposed legislation regarding the increase in the age allowed for marriage does not represent something that can generate discomfort in the native population, in fact, it is possible that it is something clearly good, however, it will not always be like that.

Massive migration is a disruptive force in a society, it forces to change the legislation, the traditions, and to modify the whole economic and social structure, it changes and degenerates the language and its accent, besides that in this particular case it also represents the inclusion of a different and incompatible religion.

Right now it is proposing to modify legislation that concerns the whole society, and that taking into account that we are talking about a problem generated by an ethnic minority, but when migration continues to increase, and current immigrants reproduce, they will no longer be an minority, they will be a majority, and then all the legislation will have to be changed, and the natives will be obliged to adapt a different social structure.

This is only the first case, and as I said, it is a case of good faith, this change in legislation could be positive, and the reasons why they are done are good, however, what motivates all this is a problem caused by an ethnic minority.

I must remember that this has not happened yet, it is possible that it is only a speculation, nevertheless, it is a clear indication of all the future problems that the United Kingdom will have.

I hope the government will reconsider and take measures to stop massive immigration.
