From the BBC:
The government unit dealing with forced marriages received 65% more calls about male victims last year than the previous year, figures show. In 2009 it received more than 220 emails and calls to its help line about male victims, up from 134 in 2008. Many male victims were forced into marriage because their families know or suspect they are gay...
Crikey. I don't like the idea of forced marriage one bit, but imagine you were forced to marry another man because your parents wrongly suspect you are gay...

Turing word: cuddly Really!
JM, indeed. You note that it's only the gays who are seen as victims, and not a straight bloke forced to marry a woman he doesn't like.
But what I really want to know is whether they do like in Italy and make them hang out their bedsheets after their honeymoon night so that everybody can see the stains.
