Stop broadcasting Married At First Sight UK

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the Government to stop broadcasting Channel 4 'Married at First Sight UK'. It encourages and promotes Mental, Emotional and Physical abuse.

Married at First Sight UK creates an environment where manipulation, emotional distress, and unrealistic expectations thrive. Participants are pushed into high-pressure situations, leading to emotional abuse, gaslighting, and self-esteem damage. The show normalizes toxic behavior by framing conflict as entertainment, potentially promoting harmful relationship dynamics. This portrayal can influence viewers to accept abuse as part of a normal relationship, with long-term mental health consequences

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about broadcasting are a matter for Ofcom, not the UK Government or Parliament.
