Marrying From Pakistan?  Or Do You Know Someone Who is?

Are you worried about being forced into a marriage?
A marriage MUST be entered into with the free and full consent of both parties and you must be compatible!.

FIRST OF ALL, WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT LEAVE THIS COUNTRY AS IT WILL BE MUCH HARDER TO STOP THE MARRIAGE ONCE YOU ARE IN PAKISTAN

EVEN IF YOU ARE IN PAKISTAN, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GET MARRIED. YOU'RE FAMILY AND RELATIVES CANNOT FORCE YOU INTO MARRIAGE. 


PLEASE MAKE NOTE OF THE CONTACT INFORMATION BELOW:

When you are in Pakistan, If you fear you are going to be forced into a marriage, contact the Consular Section at the British High Commission in Islamabad who:
  • Will try to help you get back to the UK.
  • Can issue emergency passports.
  • Will try to provide safe accommodation and transport in the country you are in.
Their address is:
British High Commission
Diplomatic Enclave
Ramna 5
P O Box 1122 , 
Islamabad

From within Pakistan : 051 201 2000

What you will need to do:
  • You may need to get to the nearest British High Commission/Embassy.

IF YOU CANNOT GET TO THE HIGH COMMISSION/EMBASSY, THEY WILL STILL TRY TO DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO HELP. THEY WILL EVEN SEND A CAR TO COLLECT YOU WITH POLICE AND BRING YOU BACK TO THE UK SAFELY, AS LONG AS YOU DO NOT FALL FOR THE EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL BY YOUT FAMILY.

You have the right to legal protection. If someone is forcing you into a marriage they may be in breach of the law in the UK and other countries. In order to protect yourself think carefully before you decide to go.

If you do go or know a friend who is stuck in Pakistan you can still help them :
