Such an alliance with registry offices will hopefully prevent the physical and financial abuse that can be prevented by alerting a woman to the fact that she is about to marry a known abuser.

Shortly after my marriage, I was contacted with an urgent 'need to know' Clare's Law procedure. Had this been read to me only 4 months earlier, I would have had a very good reason to not go through with a marriage. I would have had something to protect me and my children. I have since been left with complex PTSD, a DRO from the severity of the emotional, mental, financial and physical abuse in that relationship. Had Clare's Law been interlinked with giving notice of marriage this could have been prevented.
