3. Issues within relationships
3.1 What is coercive control?
Coercive control is an act or a pattern of acts of assault, threats, humiliation and intimidation or other abuse that is used to harm, punish, or frighten their victim. This controlling behaviour is designed to make a person dependent by isolating them from support, exploiting them, depriving them of independence and regulating their everyday behaviour. It is a criminal offense.
3.2 What is domestic abuse?
It is an incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive, threatening, degrading and violent behaviour, including sexual violence, in the majority of cases by a partner or ex-partner, but also by a family member or carer.
3.3 What does a ‘forced marriage’ mean?
A forced marriage is where one or both people do not or cannot consent to the marriage and pressure or abuse is used to force them into the marriage. It is also when anything is done to make someone marry before they turn 18, even if there is no pressure or abuse. Forced marriage is illegal in the UK. It is a form of domestic abuse and a serious abuse of human rights.
4. What was the recent change to the law concerning the minimum age of marriage in the UK?
The Marriage and Civil Partnership (Minimum Age) Act 2022, which gained Royal Assent in April last year, came into effect on the 27/2/2023. It means that 16 and 17 year olds will no longer be allowed to marry or enter a civil partnership, even if they have parental consent.
