Forced-Marriage Overseas Travel Alert Record

PROBLEM: Being taken overseas for a forced marriage puts a person at far greater risk and makes help much harder to reach — the Tahirih Justice Center urges people to try to remain in the U.S. if a forced marriage is threatened. The State Department runs a Children's Passport Issuance Alert Program that monitors passport applications for a child at risk of being taken abroad, and its Office of Overseas Citizens Services helps U.S. citizens in crisis overseas (1-888-407-4747). But a travel alert only works if someone raises it before the plane leaves.

SOLUTION: A forced-marriage overseas travel alert record: every planned trip flagged with the traveler, the destination, the date, and who raised the concern — linked to the passport alert program, the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program, and the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate — so a forced marriage planned abroad is stopped at the border, not discovered after the return.

EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — Tahirih guidance ("try to remain in the U.S."; overseas help is much harder to reach); State Department Children's Passport Issuance Alert Program; OCS 1-888-407-4747 / 202-501-4444; STEP enrollment (step.state.gov). Sources: preventforcedmarriage.org; USCIS public page; State Department slides via Tahirih.
