Um… islamically she cannot be emotionally or otherwise blackmailed into it. As a muslim woman, she has complete right to refuse this marraige. She is not a baby at 40ys. She has complete right to refuse to marry whether she is 40 or 60 or 16yo. If her parents forced her to marry against her will then they committed a crime islamically speaking.

The rape case you mentioned is also a crime and equally disgusting as the above crime in your story. 30 men have been arrested in connection of that rape crime. So the crime committed by the parents in your story should also be exposed and that girl should seek legal help. How come this case is not in the media like that rape case you mentioned? Is this a muslim family? Is that 40yo girl muslim? Do they live in pakistan? No matter where this family lives, as a muslim this girl has complete right to refuse to marry the guy she hates. Islamically, noone has authority to force her into this marriage, not even her parents irrespective of whether they are getting “OLD” or younger by the day. A crime is a crime. Tell her to seek legal help.

Incase she is not muslim then she needs to find out what her religion’s ruling is. As per my info, no major religion allows such crimes of forcing an adult girl into marriage.

It’s not about religion. Custom is the higher law.

The 30 arrested will be released after money changes hands.
