Spoon in underwear saving girls from forced marriage
As Britain puts airport staff on alert to spot potential victims of forced marriage, one campaigning group says the trick of putting a spoon in their underwear has saved some youngsters from a forced union in their South Asian ancestral homelands.
The word 'muslim' doesn't appear in article, neither does the word 'islam' but since its from Al Arabiya and they use the word 'ramadan' I think we can get a hint
The concealed spoon sets off the metal detector at the airport in Britain and the teenagers can be taken away from their parents to be searched -- a last chance to escape a largely hidden practice wrecking the lives of unknown thousands of British youths.
Clever, simple, and effective. Good for them.
