British victims of forced marriages overseas are being asked by the Foreign Office to pay costs associated with their own rescue, it has been revealed.
According to the report in the Times, those unable to cover flights, food and shelter were made to take out a loan.
The victims helped last year are reported to include seven women found imprisoned in a “correctional school” in Somalia.
Four of the group, who were each charged £740 ($940), told the Times the demand had pushed them to the financial brink.
