SUMMARY:Perveez Mody (Cambridge). Corrosive Kinship and Forms of Healing

DESCRIPTION:This paper begins with a difficult and troubling question.  I
 t concerns the distortions that arise from a temporal privileging of the
  UK’s Forced Marriage (Civil Protection) Act 2007\, designed as it is\, 
 to prevent a “forced marriage” in its run-up\, rather than to offer redr
 ess where one has already taken place\, often many years ago.  In effect
 \, the law demands a discrete “time event” (for marriage\, force) to be 
 recognised\, whereas the experience of these sits on a continuum that tr
 ack retrospective and prospective temporalities to apprehend the subject
 ively lived past and to project forwards into future projects.  This pap
 er raises questions around contextualising the “forced marriage” within 
 other forms of force and abuse both before and after the act of “forced 
 marriage” itself.  Such context is called for particularly because I was
  presented on numerous occasions by informants who sought to talk about 
 their marriages by prefacing them with narratives about prior abuse.  Th
 e argument of this piece is to find ways to think with my informants abo
 ut this abuse\, to present it ethnographically\, and to navigate through
  their accounts the ways in which these experiences of abuse have propel
 led them towards making decisions and choices with regards the care of t
 heir own children in order to engage and remake those histories and gene
 rate alternative futures.
