Saved From Forced Marriage Only to Be Saddled With Predatory Loans to Pay for It

Young girls are being sent to other countries from the UK in order to be forced into marriage. The UK says they are fighting hard to rescue these girls. But it turns out they actually charge the girls for their own rescue, thus deterring them from getting out. 

Sign on if you think this is morally wrong and should end now!

Forced marriage is truly slavery. Young girls can sometimes be married off to much older men and be treated as property. These are girls who are British nationals and therefore should be a huge priority to the government. Yet, when they seek help to get away from their forced marriage, the government forced them to take out huge loans to pay for it. 

They are usually very young girls who are absolutely not old enough to understand that if they do not repay theirloan in 6 months, they will be stuck with a 10% interest charge. Not to mention, they have been essentially enslaved. They are desperate to escape and the government takes advantage of that fact. 

If the government truly wanted to save women and girls from forced marriage, it wouldn't charge them for their freedom. Sign on if you want this policy to end immediately!
