Re: Local Lasses and forced marriges
sometimes they do genuinely go stay with relatives for a few yrs in pakistan. i know it sounds sexist but the parents feel it will help the girl be more domesticated.
though i'm sure the school does follow up if they stop attending though i think they just want to see evidence she has gone abroad and not sittin at home. what happens abroad they're not interested in.
but there was the recent case of the uk born bengali girl who was due to be married off but her aunt tipped the govt off about this and they swooped in and bought her to the uk.
though this is happenin less and less now as at one time it was thought the asian lads from "back home" would be decent hard working guys this is increasing proving to be a misconception and dont even ask about hte girls there!
