Oh! The story is actually worse than what Breitbart posted! Im really surprised, usually Breitbart spin everything as an attack on <insert conservative value du jour>

The 48-year-old had served as Denmark's minister of immigration, integration, and housing from 2015 to 2019 under the country's previous centre-right government.

In 2016, she initiated the policy of separating minors from their partners over concerns that the relationships may have involved forced marriages.

Twenty-three couples -- mostly from Syria -- were split up and placed in separate centres before the policy was halted months later. Officials said some couples arrived in Denmark with children or while the woman was pregnant.

The women who were under 18 -- Denmark's legal age of marriage -- said they had consented to their marriages.
