lol I laughed at your comment. Just to clarify as someone experienced by dispatch: Police is already underway. They type more info for later investigation and try to keep the caller on the phone in case things happens. In the end the called had already dispatched - the second such call comes in so does the address. That is why the police never are dispatched AFTER the call - they are on their way lol but your comment was funny

[@RiyaMMX]

I think the worst part for me is the mother's role in all of this.

Kudos to the lady at 41:50 I'm glad she decided to protect her children

[@MrAveragedancer]

RiyaMMX: I think the mothers being in the same situation themselves makes it pretty hard for them to do much. They've been enslaved most of their lives and don't have experience with being able to choose where their lives go. How can they help their daughters with something they know nothing about?

[@skylandersgiants5504]

RiyaMMX actually in most forced marriages and honour killings in the West, the mothers are the main perpetrators and the fathers secretly try to keep in touch with daughters if they escaped

[@berlinwall6674]

Candy Gobbler No, it's pretty equal between mothers and fathers. Fathers aren't magically more progressive than mothers. They're both from the same culture. And men have too much power in Islamic cultures like this so it's unlikely the mother gets much of a choice in what happens

[@theroxygirl731]

Arranged/forced marriage should be classified as human trafficking. What's the difference between a pimp or trafficker selling a human being in exchange for money or property?

[@zagrizena]

Arranged marriage, however unusual in our culture, is not immoral in itself. As long as both parties participate voluntarily, are given a chance to "meet their match" and potentially refuse the union, it's not illegal. Problems start, when marriages are arranged without consent, through duplicity or sheer force. And especially, when young people are forced to travel abroad to get married there under a different law, which might severely limit their rights within the marriage and their options to leave.

[@lisawentworth6831]

@@zagrizena It IS Immoral...it is the forcing of someone AGAINST their will! It is an arrestable offence! It is forced rape and beating that go along with it, and death if they try to refuse. That's as immoral as you get. Based on your name, it sounds like it' OK in your culture, but Western civilizations that have to uphold the safety of ALL people have to make laws that may bend other's cultures...big difference. Safety...it's for everyone, despite culture!

[@zagrizena]

@@lisawentworth6831 which culture do you think I come from? 😀 I do agree *forced* marriage is immoral and illegal. Having somebody else *arrange/match* a partner for you to marry, is not, as long as both prospective spouses agree. I'm simply differentiating between a forced (which is always somehow arranged) and an arranged (which doesn't necessarily need to be forced without consent) marriage. Or to put it bluntly: marriage based on romantic infatuation is not the only acceptable and legitimate way of choosing a spouse, even in the west.

[@G275P]

@lisawentworth6831 arranged marriage is different from forced marriage. There is a big distinction. Forced is against their will and as the name states "forced". Sometimes arranged is parents AND the proposed couple sitting down and then the couple going on dates and agreeing whether or not they are suited to one another.

As someone with a lot of Muslim friends, there were many girls I knew that would tell me about how their parents would threaten them with forced marriages if they didn't do well in school or were hanging out with boys. My friend Nasima was really quiet and secluded. She was part of my circle of friends and wore the most religious clothing out of my Muslim friends. She attended my high school for three years before she just disappeared. None of my friends knew where she wentand she never spoke about her home life so I never expected this to happen. I still wonder today whether she was forced into marriage or if she just moved. These documentaries about forced marriages have really made me reflect on what happened back then and I'm only seeing now just how radically different western and eastern cultures are. I hope the girls in the documentary stay safe and I hope the same for Nasima.

Later, she contacted me and I was so glad to see she had a happy and much better life. Right here in the US. And 2 boys who worked for me had arranged marriages. I doubt they worked well, as they grew up watching their dad physically and emotionally abuse their mom. Both mom and dad worked for us, and I wish I could have beat him senseless. But, I was a 4’10” female in my 50’s, so no go. This crap makes me so angry.

I am a male victim of this crime but us males are not highlighted.

I was in a remote village without money or means of contact. The police ignored me there. I was used as a bridge by my parents and dad's sister to help her daughter to climb in the UK over my happiness. Can you put someone else's happiness over your sons happiness. If I could, I would love for her British citizenship to be revoked and see her returned to Pakistan and banned from coming to the UK. I hate her with passion.

If you marry your first cousin and your parents were first cousins and your grandparents were first cousins and your husband also came from a long line of first cousins your offspring are at a much greater risk of serious birth defects.

I disagree on it his or the woman fault on what gender is the baby. No one can control what nature prepares for us. The kid is ether a boy or a girl. No one whows what child they get or the world would be a perfect place and i know the world isnt perfect dut to wars and natural disater that comes out way. So when it comes to blaming on what kind of child they have it not really a good idea. If you want blam then blame it on the nature of life. I am a girl but i could have been a boy, no one know how they were born beside out of the spern and ovum put together to make a human being. Just like you or the victum or the parents. Check out those who wish to be girls when they are boys or those who wish to be boys when they are girls. Gender rolls can determen how we are born nor does wishing for a certian gender determan what baby comes out of the womb.

This reminds me of when I was in highschool. There was a girl in my science class that was from the middle east. She migrated with her family years beforehand. We had a new male student who had only been in the states for about three months. One day he stood up in the middle of class and pointed at the girl yelling at her in his native language. We were all wind eyed and confused. Then he threw a rolled up paper at her and yelled "COVER YOURSELF! YOU SHAME!" My teacher briskly walked over to him and smacked him with her teaching binder. Yelling back at him "You're not at home! She can have her hair like that if she wants. Sit down and shut up before I make you!" Apparently she spoke the language.

I understand why this shit goes on back home in Pakistan for example. You're surrounded by your family, you live in the same unit and are physically bound by your culture. It doesn't make it anymore okay but it makes it easier to comprehend. However the whole point of coming to the UK is to move forward, give your children, the future generation, a chance at education and success. It's beyond me why you would pull them back into the god damn dark ages and chain them there? It's appalling, cruel and what's worse is that these people, they think that what they're doing makes them better Muslims. It shouldn't come as a surprise that forced marriage is sinful in Islam and in actual fact, is illegitimate. Any sexual activity that occurs during the 'marriage' is seen as fornication. So instead of strengthening your faith lol you've actually bought yourself a ticket to hell. Rightly so.

Humans will ALWAYS take advantage of religious and cultural practice unless they are stopped by law. And the laws must be enforced. That's part of the reason for the very existence culture and religion...To CREATE hierarchies in order to CONTROL. There are many positive aspects of Pakistani culture...or any culture. BUT...patriarchy or male social preference, DOES do damage in almost every country.....NOT just Muslim countries. It's been a long struggle for groups of people to achieve equality under law where their persecution has become enshrined by religion and culture. But, once there are laws protecting people, often it's hit or miss. And PLEASE...please let's not say that men don't also suffer from domestic abuse or cohesive control It's like saying people of color can't be racist...to say that women can't abuse their partners.

TruthBeTold you come over here "for a better life" its your choice so dont moan if it bothers you that much go back we're just opening our doors to you and your complaining

[@codywild9433]

Well move then! The Middle East is crazy now, anyway England is not a very safe place compared to New Zealand thats why I have residency in The UK and NZ. Religious stuff sucks! It is crazy that people change just because some silly people think there is some god that is telling them they have to marry for no reason! IT IS THE 21st CENTURY!

[@CanadianMonarchist]

7:36- "I'm not hitting you this time-" so you have hit her on previous occasions?

[@zari2662]

I caught that too!

[@monicamacias6155]

“You can hit your wife. You can hit your son.” That tells a lot what kind of person is! A monster!!

I downright refuse to respect and tolerate forced marriages and honor killings.

[@neonelishuax1962]

I am male. In the sense that there are women (or womyn) who continue to fight against the world for the most basic human rights (rights that we. globally as men, take for granted), this program has been an inspiration and a blessing to me. This is especially inspiring to me, to see, women of color fighting for the most BASIC human rights. EQUAL RIGHTS. I congratulate these young women of valor for standing up for their rights. I thank them for inspiring me. I am so sad that such injustice, such inhumaneness and inhumanity, STILL takes place in this world. I send out my love to these young women, as well as to all oppressed women, children, and even men throughout the world.

[@natalieporter9871]

neon arroyo what a lovely sentiment. Made my day!

[@ophiecat]

neon arroyo Very well said. I wish more men thought the same way.

[@beautifulspirit7420]

@Victoria Adeyemi Victoria, it is also VERY cultural. These people are from small peasant villages in Pakistan where it is traditional to marry your first cousins to keep land and wealth in the family. In the vast majority of Muslim societies this behaviour would be considered abhorrent. This is not in the Koran or considered Islamic.

[@maryme841]

I really wish I knew more men were like you, this world would be such a better place if all men were like you.

Why you blur their faces? They don't deserve no respect, they should be treated the way they treat other people especially women.

[@flareknuckles]

Ik I'm 2 years late but I believe it's a legal issue

[@brandyjean7015]

@@flareknuckles and I'm even later! You're right. But that's really part of the problem. Our laws don't always protect where it's most needed.

[@karenlal9242]

I'm Muslim but very liberal, from a different type of culture, more western, and I just can't imagine this kind of life these girls live in, the house and parents they are living with is abhorrent, can't imagine not being able to trust your own parents to be there for you unconditionally, its so sad.

[@cinnamonkfruit]

You are very lucky. The situation these girls are in, is as you said, really sad.

[@nanaskin6]

Karen Lal liberal like how? drink and showing skin etc??

[@ambehak4758]

as a man who has been through this disgusting cultural practice, i can tell you from experience that the home life is extremely abhorrent, difficult and remains hard to get through day by day. my own parents and even some siblings totally killed my confidence and i now suffer from depression and anxiety, and due to this cannot continue with university and am unable to make friends.

[@Gypseygirls]

Amjid Khan That's sad. You have too much negative energy built up from family. Find a meditation off You Tube, it works. 🇨🇦

[@isisarecia.911insidejob.ne7]

This is the Dajjal because the Government dont care about these girls!!! A girl with out family is weak!.

[@soniahussain1385]

this made me cry.. I'm so glad there's so much help out there for people who are going through torture like this and that most of them are courageous enough to make the decision of standing up for themselves

[@itsnotme4544]

Sonia Hussain I wouldn't recommend going to the government for help I wouldn't recommend calling the police for help because they are Freemasons honest who hate Muslims and they hate Islam so why would these people want to even go to the zionists Freemasons best thing to do is to worship your god worship your God and beg your god for help because only your God can help you I wouldn't go to this satanist police Zionist please

[@BettyLucille]

When the investigator said that Roxanna’s boyfriend would not comment on the abuse by her father I feel like he is scared of him as well. Her boyfriend might feel like he’d be in danger if he testified. I feel so bad for both of them, under the control of someone who doesn’t deserve that kind of power.

[@vondaniels3214]

Someone has to start standing up and having a voice. If everyone huddles and looks away you are just condoning this vile, barbaric behaviour. Women have the right to vote. Do something with your voice. Use it!!;

[@zoharaabdeen7100]

I married the man of my dreams...how can you force a person to get married....for the rest of your life will be he'll...I don't understand why parents do this to their own children..don't they want them to be happy and to be loved...When will this end..I'm greatful that I'm not apart of this culture but I'm Muslim the difference is my parents wanted me to be happy..That's all that really matters in the end...

[@soulfull9358]

Really sick must be tradition and the parents who's whole purpose in life is to make their own childrens' life pure hell. Black mailing, threatening, isolating, forcing them to marry a person they dont want to...possibly even abusive one. Sick.

[@aimeea7156]

Soul full ys it is.. try living life like this ..

[@aimeea7156]

they do this in every country even usa.. I know 1st hand

[@aimeea7156]

try coming from political family it's so much worse and then gets worse and worse bc then they do things to women over kids even police fire emt family's do this. is god awful the abuse. I have endured it myself

[@GabrielBadwolf]

Aimee A get out, if you're being abused just get out. It don't matter what your family want and what they want, you matter. Pack your bags when no one is watching and leave, there's organisations and such all over that help people like you in your situation. If it's a problem with someone that has influence, get out of their sphere or influence go far away from there.

Amazing UK police, empathetic, direct and compassionate.

[@RainRemnant]

Watching this I can't help thinking of young me at 14, had to leave home suddenly one morning, after a night I thought I wouldn't survive an outburst of my "father", and my mom and me ran away and found a shelter. Didn't even have time to process, my room my pets my home and all stuff and photos, everything I knew, all left behind. I'm 44 now, seems time just doesn't always heal everything. Family...

[@katiekane5247]

I'm sorry you had to go through that. Might have saved your lives though.

[@lizaj3339]

I wish these abusers would be jailed and then instantly deported

[@zariyanoor5699]

Jennifer Alexander I wish so too.

[@berlinwall6674]

It's better to not let them in at all

[@scythescythe884]

as much as i agree, it could have adverse effects on the kids too. its a cultural thing, so it needs to be addressed in a more tactful and education related way.

[@dal.salvador]

Boy. Keep your freaking hands to yourself, don't touch anybody. Gosh I hate the abuse culture.

[@Staceyrow]

This is so sad. No one can ever say it's a religion thing cause it's cultural as she started. As a East African Muslim we've always believed in love marriage. I feel really grateful :'(

im happy for you
