Bedfordshire Police Constabulary v RU and another [2013] EWHC 2350 (Fam); [2013] WLR (D) 319

“There was no power whereby a police force could apply for a person to be committed to prison for contempt of court for breach of a forced marriage protection order where the police themselves were not the applicants who had obtained the order. The relevant departments of state should give urgent consideration to improving the effectiveness of forced marriage protection orders and the means of enforcement.”
