I didnt realise it happend to men too.
i know this has nothing to do with the video but for 240p this is awesome quality!!!!!!!!!
@187Godhand2 advice to every person in your situation: be prepared. you never know if they will do sth.
find out the quickest way to the british embassy. make copies of your passport and carry it with you. may sound like a bit too much…but it is better to be safe than sorry.
and btw: yes, pakistani parents do that with boys too.
@BOLSHEVIXTREME i agree/being parents doesntmean they can t be stupid/they aready see they make their children unhappy but they still go on/i think there should be more organizations helping the CHILDREN/muslim or not
THe kid at 9:21 i feel really bad for that guy. Parents blackmailing children just to get there way. And yet they dont realize that the young man at the end of the day says “i love my mom and i always will”. Yet i guess his mother only loved him aslong as he did what they said. Soo soo sad.
@motorola99 you could try to educate them doesnt mean they’ll listen or even care for that matter
I remember this happening in Sikh families 20 years but they appeared to have gone byond it.
The survivors must be going through something like PTSD.
I wholly applaud the UK Foreign Office for producing this.
this is a mirpiri problem
my parents tried to force me into an arranged marriage. i punched them in the face and it felt really good.
your own parents only can compell you to marry the girl in pakistan and no any strage person will force you, all forced marriages are arranged by the parents even they will attach you with your own cousin.
Technically, they could - but I can’t tell you if they would or not - you know your family the best. But is it’s something you’re worried about - just make sure you have with you the right numbers to call at all times.
I’m a Pakistani lad raised in Britain since 2 and i’m off to Pakistani and i’m 17. Is there a chance they’d pull this stunt on me even though i’m a boy? I usually thought they targeted girls but could they do it to me as well?
Pakistanis living in Pakistan are far more modern than those Pakistanis living in UK!
what u mean?
Such a sad storyyy :(
its a black male society. The parents make the children marry with emotional blackmail.etc …and it is still happening it they realise the results later when the person who gets married realises what they really want. most of the marriages are farce.they pretend just to fit into the culture and society.If you say yoou are ostracise’s from family and culture. Often the children at young age from 16-20 when one is just growing up.
thanks i like your answer
This is so sad I knew a girl who refused to get married. She got fired from his family and she was told that she is death for them because of her action
Another approach would be for the organization to take steps to educate the parents in the UK and help them realize that they are destroying their children’s lives.
even worse, i have experienced worse, and i am a man…
Wow, It is amazing how easy for some people to discard their children.
Wow! It is amazing how easy it is for some people to just discard their children. I would choose my children over everyone else in the world.
Is there any help I can look into in trying to find a way out of being forced to follow a religon that I don’t want?
I believe that force marriage is wronf. But once you (survivors) were forced to marry why didn’t you try to understand or conform the situation. Because once you leave your home you would exchange your family to freedom. It is really choice matter. And you need to understand other part of the coin, your wife (husband) because she/he is involved to this matter…
It is good that people are being told of the difference between an arranged marriage and a forced one.
