ok that’s too funny but the story itself is not. is she okay now?
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.
wow
14 is quite a young age!
she must be, since none of my cousin is in the jail.
I vaguely remember one cousin saying that another cousin(girl’s brother) chased driver with old fashion “TOkA”
I asked my cousin why he wanted to kill “J-----” he said he stole your money.
The cousin who was telling the story was little boy too.
She must be fine I know. since no one knew where they were.

Re: has anyone ever eloped and got married
One of my friend's sister ran away to marry her boyfriend in high school. I think they're living happily, they have 3 beautiful children together as well. :)
uh oh. This reminds me of this desi version of Jerry Springer’s reality show “Maachis” which comes on HUMTV and in 1 of their episodes they showed a case in which a girl ran away with her pathan driver and got married to him. Her parents were so angry and towards the end of the show her father started beating up the poor guy. The whole thing was so funny! 
^i uised to love MAACHIS!..i thought it was taken off the air..its on hum tv?..no wonder i dont have this channel..
Re: has anyone ever eloped and got married
soni27, I think it comes on HUMTV but am not sure I actually watched the videos on pakstop.com
Re: has anyone ever eloped and got married
one of our family friend's wife ran away with her b/f. after that uncle divorced her, and she told him to keep their two sons as she doesn't want them. she is 27-28 and said that she is too young to be a mother of two kids. its her time to enjoy the life.
after since she have left... she has changed I think 3-4 bf.
thats her way of enjoying life!!! :|
Though I am all for marrying the one you love, however I strongly believe that if your love is true, sincere and pure, no matter what, you can always convince your parents! Eloping is the easy way out of it, to fight for your love and convince the world is the challenge!
That is a bunch of idealistic, filmi crap. Its a myth that you can always convince your parents. I am assuming you have never been through anything like that for real or maybe not even had to deal with real messed up parents. And you then have the guts to judge someone else's situation suggesting he/she took the "easy way out", is extremely judgemental and pathetic on your part.
And for most cases, leaving your whole family behind is not "an easy way out" for anyone. It requires guts and real sacrifice beyond your Filmi imagination. Its real life changing decision, like choosing which of your limbs to cut to save your body.
Real life serves you parents who sell their daughters, who abandon their kids on trash, who simply love their status quo or honor (read EGO) in society more than their kids and who kill their daughters for marrying someone of their choice. In most such cases, if kids are behaving like "kids", why can't the real adults act like adults. Parents abandon their adult kid of making the most important decision of his/her life by choice and somehow everyone assumes it is justified action on parent's part and kids are to blame? Parents who refer to "badnami" in society simply love their honor (read EGO) in society more than their kids. They deem the approval of a third person (society) more important than life and happiness of their kids.

Looks like you've had a bad experience or might have seen one, but you are forgetting one thing, this is a discussion forum and everyones entitled to his own opinion. If you think leaving behind your parents for the love of your life isnt the easy way out, all the power to you, I dont. And yes, I have seen the sternest parents allowing their kids to ultimately marry who they like. If you are sincere about something, and put your mind to it, you can accomplish it.
First of all, this is not about what opinion you hold. Sure you have every right to believe that with commitment/sincerity, you can do anything or love can conquer everything or whatever you want to. I don't have any problem with that. But you assumed that others who don't make the same choice as yours or hold the same opinion as yours, are somehow taking "an easy way out", in the context of such sensitive issue. That is being judgemental of others circumstances, situations, scenarios, opinions and most of all, their choices without you ever being in their shoes.
And your use of the word "sternest parents" indicates why you can't get your head around the concept of "messed up" parents. I understand that because most of my western friends cannot comprehend why parents in deep Sindh would kill their daughters for simply meeting a young man alone, or parents who marry their daughters to Quran, or parents in tribal areas who have 17/18 kids and trade their daughters for farm animals. I have done volunteer teaching in all these places and have experienced real messed up parents.
Finally, why don't you accuse parents who are adults in this difficult siutation of choosing the 'easy way out". I mean they are also in a difficult situation to either give up on not seeing their kids forever or ....... hmmm, lets see ....... not holding their heads up in a social gathering (read EGO)? The kid is eloping because she maybe getting married to an old guy with 2 wives so her whole life depends on this decision. But what is parents excuse?

AP, my discussion does not encompass uneducated parents from backward areas who want to marry their daughter to some old guy with 2 wives, thank you come again. Thats a seperate issue, and I would treat that as a special case. If you really want to know what I think in case they (uneducated unreasonable parents) want to marry their daughter to some bhudda ganja with 2 wives, I say run away if they can! However, once again my discussion wasnt encompassing them, but was aimed generally at the society around us.
Re: has anyone ever eloped and got married
Spock, I know that the situation may have changed quite a bit, but back in the day even many "educated" parents were willing to put their ego first. My husband and I did elope, in a sense, after asking permission for nearly 2 years. We finally announced a wedding date and invited everyone. Some came, some didn't, and after all these years, my MIL still goes on and on about her "lost" izzat. The husband just reminds her that she had plenty of opportunity to keep it, but chose not to.
They are staying with us right now (on the vacation that never ends), but just recently she told my son that he needs to marry a proper rajput girl so that he can save the honor of the family, lol. It was about all I could do not to put her in the car and drive her to the airport. Some families may come around, but some are far too proud.
