Rejected petition Stop broadcasting Married At First Sight UK

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

More details

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
