Forced marriage seven years imprisonment

Nihal asks whether seven years in prison will stop forced marriages. Plus two Girl Guide leaders who have just returned from India share their experiences.

Join the debate with Nihal at 10, he's asking, will seven years in prison stop forced marriages? The government wants to send a strong message to parents who think they can force their children to marry - and if they're reported they could face up to 7 years behind bars. Is this a good idea? After 11, Girl Guide leaders Sharon Knowles and Bijal Rama share their experiences from a recent trip to India. And after midday, seeing as the A-level results are announced today, Nihal wants to know if you would let your parents choose your university course for you?
