The women on this thread are amazing. I don’t think I’d be able to take emotional blackmailing from my parents.

Pink, I think you should consider the marriage-visa-divorce route. It may be wrong in principle, but it is more likely to resolve this situation. It is a compromise between what you want and what your parents and the cousins family want. Set it up so everyone gets what they want. Keep the “marriage” low-key and paper based. Once the guy gets the visa, divorce him and we’re back to square one. Then you can have a real marriage down the road sometime.

i dont think your advice could help her. it even make her current situation more complicated.
