Anne-Marie Hutchinson OBE QC (Hon) (1 August 1957 – 2 October 2020) was an Irish lawyer known for her work in the UK concerning children's rights, particularly forced marriage and international child abduction.
[3] A 2005 case in which she represented a British-born Pakistani woman set a legal precedent when the High Court ruled forced marriages could be annulled due to lack of consent.
The year after the act was brought in, she represented Humayra Abedin, a trainee GP, who had been sent to Bangladesh and forced to marry against her will.
[6] She received an OBE in 2002 for services to international adoption and child abduction[4] and was made an honorary QC in 2016.
[3] Hutchinson's other work has concerned victims of “honour”-based violence, female genital mutilation, abandoned spouses, and potential parents in surrogacy arrangements.
