Almost 600 people have come forward in the past five months to raise the alarm over fears they are about to be forced to marry against their will, it emerged last night as David Cameron unveiled plans to make it a crime.
The Home Office released details of the caseload of the Government's dedicated Forced Marriage Unit showing that it has been handling around 120 cases a month.
The figures suggest a rise in the number children under threat of forced marriage, with 14 per cent of those dealt with aged under 15, compared with 10 per cent last year.
