Re: Arranged to marry at 16, not feeling right...
Crystle, my advice is to stand firm on the decision to not marry this guy (if that's how you feel). Don't waver, don't back down. I know it's easier said than done, but these situations are best handled with strength. Is it possible for you to talk to a trusted elder from your dad's side of the family such as a grandparent or an uncle? I would suggest someone who has authority and who can speak to your dad and aunt about not pressuring you. Also, would it help at all if you tell your cousin that you're not interested in marrying him? As wealthy as they might be, it's odd for a mom to push her 20 year old son into marriage (even if he likes you).
