*First of all, I don't like friends meddling in other people's lives unnecessarily. *
Listen you fool, this girl is literally being enslaved to a family she doesn't even want to know, its not meddling, here friends are trying to keep her from entering a life of abuse or even eventual suicide.
Secondly, if she asked for your help, and specifically asked you for a helpline number, then all I have to say is - if she's brave enough to call help lines and jeopardize her family's reputation, etc. then she should be brave enough to stand up to her parents.
Have you never heard of girls being murdered by their own family members over so called 'honour', here father obviously cares more for his nephew than he does for his daughter, maybe this girl is just a little bit smarter than you & thought she wouldn't risk going through all that 'murder & being scattered over a hillside' stuff. The way your defending these people makes you sound like one of them, maybe your relying on this evil custom of slavery to get yourself a bride?
