Local Lasses and forced marriges

the other thread about the young girl being raped at the scout camp got me to wondering about young British girls of Asian descent who 'disappear' only to reappear a couple of years later with a child and husband , A few years back one of the young lasses in my parents street went 'missing' she used to run errands and such for the pensioners , when my Mother asked her parents why she hadn't seen her about for awhile she was told she had gone to visit family overseas, It became kind of accepted that young girls would eventually "go to visit family overseas' and it was just the way 'they' did things , I don't believe I ever heard anyone condem or say it was wrong , dont think any of them managed to finish secondary school it was just 'summat' that 'they' did . Not sure if the practise still goes on and how it could be stopped , if a 13/14 year old girl drops out from school is any follow up done as to her whereabouts ? or is it just accepted as 'summat' that happens ?
just curious
