Author backs forced-marriage ban

A Turkish author whose husband deprived her of food has condemned forced marriages as Germany debates whether to ban them.

Serap Cileli spoke out against the "crazy tolerance of society" in Germany, where 45 women have been stabbed, shot or drowned in so-called honour killings since 1996.

Cileli, who moved to Germany when she was eight, says journalists and politicians have turned a blind eye to the issue.

Her reprimand comes in the run-up to a government decision about criminalising forced marriages in Germany, after a recommendation from the upper house of parliament on July 8 that the practice be banned.
