Shy talk Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) What is the story? You could be lying for all I know, I didn't see Calendar. Provide some background, that's forum etiquette, is it not? I think it was Look North actualy, not Calender. It just featured yet another case of a Pakistani woman being ostricized and threatened with violence by her own family because she refused to marry a total stranger that her family had had lined up ready for her since she was eight.

Plain Talker Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Is this forced marriage thing within the Pakistani community part of the "enrichment" of our culture? Whereas the only culture you have is found in a petri dish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricgem2002 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Odd that the woman interviewed is British born, though, no? i saw this on calendar and it was pretty horiffic what happened to her sister who took her own life and the lady on calendar said it was better for her to have done that than bring shame upon the family and this from her own mother . but then i guess you have a perfectly explanation for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
