Clause 16 - Sections 10 to 15: marriage exception
Sexual Offences Bill [Lords]

Mr Dominic Grieve (Beaconsfield, Conservative)
Perhaps I have the wrong end of the argument, but we recognise the existence of foreign marriages in this country, including marriages that are transacted between a 40-year-old and a 13-year-old. Such marriages are still lawful marriage.
