!!! help me.. i am just 17.. forced to marry.?

Question

Can u help me?

If you can give your opinion on this case, it would be of much help to me.

You can help save me through the situation that i am going through.

I need to travel abroad away from my parents in pakistan, islamabad. I am pakistani girl.

I m 17 years and they are forcibly trying to marry me off. (which occurs in pakistan even with the law against it, money rules ! )

Please suggest a way to go to a country where i can be away from parents.

I have a passport, but its minor ( 17 years)

How to get visa easily and in which country.

Also I need urgent info, kindly help.

I have a boyfriend whom I love and would like to reach him. suggest some way out from my country.

He is an indian citizen but now presently in USA, california and working. I can't go to india coz pakistani citizens don't get Indian visa ( red flag countries)

So where & how can we meet.

Even a hint would be appreciated, if you could just understand me.

regards

Answer 1

Could you ask parents if you could go to schol in USA for one year before marrying and then instead just stay here? Do you know any one you can trust to maybe help you escape? Maybe the boy from India could come to you and marry you and then you could leave with him. I wish I knew a way to help you and hope any of this gives you ideas. Have to tried telling your parents you love a man already and do not want to be forced into their plans of marriage?

Answer 2

I really feel sorry for you from the bottom of my heart. I know the way they treat women in our countries. It gets so worse where parents get involved in such trades.

Legally you cannot marry untill 18, but sure everything works fine in here.

What does your boyfriend say ?

Even for getting a Visitor visa to the US it will take you about 6 months and still not be sure whether you will get stamped because you have no answers to who is sponcering your trip and on what basis.

Even if you  come illegally to India via the border, where would you go ? India is a very big country. Do you know if your boy friends parents can help you ?

They can legally sponcer your trip from Pakistan to India on the reason that you want to take some courses in India as they are not available in Pakistan. Or make a study plan to India for the reason of a Visa and ask your boy friends parents to show that they are taking care of you and will be your local guardians in India :)

All the best !
