One of my friend need your advice please. She is in trouble these days. Her age is 19 years and her parents had finalised her marriage with a guy of 39 years old.
The person according to her, seems like her uncle.
It is difficult for her to discuss this matter with parents as they are very much strict and she is sure that they will not listen to her.
Is there any solution? Please share your valuable advice and comments.

I am not understanding what you are saying exactly. Did your friend marry a 39 year old and doesn;t want to be in the relationship? Was the wedding prearranged or what? I don't know how to respond because i don't know exactly what you are saying.

I dont know, it sounds to me like they are saying the parents are having this girl marry this guy and she doesnt want to but she cant say no to her parents either.... is that right or no???
I dont think its right but I dont know where your from or what your culture is...
if she is 19 isnt she of an adult age to make her own decisions? if she cant then why not run away? I dont know.. Im a little confused on this one..

actually she is not yet married, she is just engaged. this is a normal case in our culture. here children are not allowed to speak in front of their elders decission. lots of changings are occurring but very slowly. still there is a lot to be changed and this little girl is also a part of that society. she cannot even imagine to run away from her home. she is not even able to speak in front of her parents about this matter then how can she take a step to run.

i think if she has anyone she can trust such as other family member or friend ..she should go stay with them...and tell her parents shes not going to marry the man. i really dont understand arranged marriages bcos im not from that culture :s i know some families disown you.. but thats no reason to go through with the marriage just to please your parents.
