Re: has anyone ever eloped and got married
I know of two Brooklyn pakistani couples that eloped while in high school. The girls were 14 and 16, and the guys were 21 and 22. The 14 and 21 year old came back after 3 months of hiding and their parents quickly got them married to each other. The other two never came back to their families. Instead, the boy and girl did a case against the girl's father, saying that he was torturing the boy's uncle and endangering his life in order to find out where she was staying. The father is now in jail and I heard the girl's mother became mentally ill due to all of this. It was all over the news and missing person's fliers.
Very very sad. I certainly wouldn't recommend it for these young lovestruck morons, but if you're much older, have a good education, good head on your shoulders, and your parents are a bit too backward and wont ever see things your way.. its still not as bad.
