Re: Forced marriages & siblings
PS: I think that having the support there might help the sibling refuse in those last moments, when family, religion, and the law are on her/his side. I think you need to show your sibling that you are with her/him, no matter what.
Re: Forced marriages & siblings
sm1n i know just went through this. well, her sister first was worried that her sis wasnt agreeing to this marraige but after a while she was brainwashed by her aunts n parents and she stopped caring and just pretended like it was the perfect marraige.
so basically i guess she did abandon her?
(sorry if this isnt wat u were lookin for)
Re: Forced marriages & siblings
Hmmmm interesting views...and i can see where everyone is coming from.
Muniya i agree, most parents in such situations will swear that it is for their childs best interests....something that the child doens't realise now...and so forth
I don't excuse it
I think it is stupid and illogical
However, Sahar....i think like you.
In such a time i think it is imperative to be there as emotional support.....
I do believe however, that if you have resisted long enough and it is not going your way........maybe the path chosen is the better one? In the long term..mebbe it will be...or theres the chance it may not...but either way....
Its a horrible topic...
Lets hope our generation never repeat the same though worryingly i have met girls my age who think so backwardly its terrifying!
