Canada is considering limiting the rights of immigrant polygamists in the Zero Tolerance for Barbaric Cultural Practices Act which has got to be the best name for a law I have ever heard.
Canada already bans polygamy and this law would close the loophole that would let polygamists get immigration benefits. They can also deport polygamists without needing to convict them of any criminal activity.
This law would also criminalize forced marriages and limits the defense of honor killings in legal cases. It puts the minimum age for marriage at sixteen. Those under the age of 18 would need parental consent.
