A recent European study confirmed the lack of quantitative surveys in Council of Europe countries.111 One study of 1,322 marriages across six villages in Kyrgyzstan found that one half of ethnic Kyrgyz marriages were the result of kidnappings, and that as many as two thirds of these marriages were non-consensual.112 In the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, a Forced Marriage Unit established by the Government intervenes in 300 cases of forced marriage a year.113
Un estudio de 1.322 matrimonios en seis aldeas de Kirguistán comprobó que la mitad de los matrimonios de personas de origen étnico kirguizo provenían de raptos, y que hasta las dos terceras partes de dichos matrimonios no eran consensuales. En el Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda del Norte, la Unidad sobre Matrimonios Forzados creada por el Gobierno interviene en unos 300 casos de matrimonios forzados por año.
