I think there is a point for more direct engagament. As I said we need to put together special panels of judges for racially/religiously sensitive areas of law.
But with the absolute expectation of enforcement around areas of sensitivity.
We've done it very succesfully with forced marriage and with genital mutilation (still a problem outside the UK).
But cousin marriage, forced illiteracy, enforcement of Izit, restriction around dress, teaching of bigotry etc etc
Are huge problems.
Confident, literate women who feel protected by society don't have such massive families. Perversley Egypt and other Muslim countries have managed to lower their birth rates succesfully.
