An-uiridh ann an Alba rinn an Forced Marriages Unit aig Riaghaltas Bhreatainn rannsachadh air c貌rr is d脿 fhichead suidheachadh ceangailte ri p貌saidhean an aghaidh toil. Ann am Breatann air fad, chaidh na h-脿ireamhan suas an-uiridh seach mar a bha iad am bliadhna roimhe. A-nis ged-th脿 ann an Alba tha Bile nam P貌saidhean an aghaidh toil a' dol tron Ph脿rlamaid is a h-uile d霉il gum bi e na lagh as t-fhoghar. Tha Darren Linc a' sireadh bheachdan mun Bhile ann an Glaschu is D霉n 脠ideann, far a bheil a' mh貌r-chuid de choimhearsnachdan 脌isianach na h-Alba is far a bheil p貌saidhean an aghaidh toil nas bitheanta.

Last year the UK Government's Forced Marriages Unit looked into more than 40 cases of forced marriage in Scotland. In Britain as a whole the numbers rose last year compared to the year before. Now the Forced Marriages (Scotland) Bill is making its way through Holyrood, with all signs pointing to it becoming law in August. Tonight on 贰貌谤辫补 Darren Laing looks at the reaction to the Bill in Glasgow and Edinburgh, home to most of Scotland's Asian population and where forced marriages are more common.
