I have been physically assaulted on a regular basis and have asked my mum for help. I have been told to put up with this, as this brings shame upon the family.

Rani’s Story

Rani is a young woman with mental health needs and mild learning difficulties and she lives at home with her mother and one sister. Rani’s family wants to arrange a marriage to a young man who has come over from India. He needs to marry a British citizen so he can stay in this country; Rani’s Mum feels this will be a good match as no one in this country would marry Rani due to her disability. Rani has been married just over a year; her husband has been taking all her benefit money and posting it back home to his family. .Rani had a miscarriage a few months ago this has made her husband even more aggressive towards her. Now he wants a divorce, as he has a visa to stay in this country.
