Re: Forced Marriage
You already know that your father is capable of physical violence and his mood/behavior is unpredictable. While I understand your desire to protect your family from “shame”, you also need to think about your own safety. Have you seen the story that’s plastered all over the news today about the Pakistani girl who was tied down and burnt alive by her own mother b/c she married someone against her family’s wishes? According to the story, the girl’s mother and brother lied to her and talked her into going back to the family’s house and then burned her alive.
No matter what you do, do NOT get on a plane to Pakistan under any circumstances. Vacation, some relative is supposedly dying…whatever reason your father/mother/brother etc. gives you…do not go to Pakistan anytime soon. And even if you don’t reach out to them right now…at least take the time to become familiar with the agencies in Hong Kong who can help you.
