It is targeted at those who exploit vulnerable children by arranging for them to marry young and will apply under any circumstances, whether or not force was used.
Anyone found guilty faces seven years in prison.
Natasha Rattu, of the Karma Nirvana charity, part of the Girls Not Brides Coalition, said: “The change to legislation on child marriage is a huge victory for survivors.
“It is a huge leap forward to tackling this usually hidden abuse and will provide a greater degree of protection to those at risk.
“Last year, the national Honour Based Abuse helpline supported 64 cases of child marriage, representing only a small picture of a much bigger problem.
We hope that the new law will help to increase identification and reporting, affording greater protection to children at risk.”
The Government’s forced marriage unit provided advice or support in 118 cases involving victims aged under 18 in 2021.

Dominican Olympics Committee congratulates MenaRD on Capcom Cup victory
The official Olympic Committee for the Dominican Republic has congratulated professional Street Fighter player MenaRD for their victory at Capcom Cup. As the victor, they’re the final Street Fighter 5 champion as official tournaments prepare for the launch of Street Fighter 6.
“Excellent sunrise for all Dominicans, and Dominican esports. Saul Mena, Capcom Cup Champion.” writes the olympic committee on Twitter (translated via google translate), MenaRD has been a notable player since 2017, when he made a big impact as one of Latin America’s best fighting game players.
MenaRD has also invested a lot of his winnings over the years into building up gaming communities in his region, which traditionally hasn’t got as much financial support as places like the USA, UK, or Japan. It was in 2017 following his first Capcom Cup victory that he donated a large portion of his $250,000 winnings to building up his local scene.
