A violent man who forced someone to marry him so he could stay in the UK, and subjected her to physical and mental abuse, has become the first person to be convicted of the offence in Bedfordshire.
Kulbir Singh Moroak was brought to justice after a concerned friend contacted Bedfordshire Police to report the abuse in November.
The victim told police how Moroak, 28, had subjected her to physical and verbal abuse for months and forced her into marriage.
