Arranged Marriages are an INJUSTICE?
-
It is about time that Women of the Indian Subcontinent and also in all the Traditionalist must Societies must stand up and reclaim their human diginity...
In our societies, we dont marry first cousins at all.
They are like our siblings and we grow up like that.
There is no marrying them.
And the other reason being, ' the risks of inherited disorders' are well recognised. -
Hi Tahira,
Surrey currently.
Peace! -
LoteTree are you from the uk?
Yes, from Merry England -)...But my family roots are in the Indian Subcontinent...

You guys are so lucky you're not living in pakiford. OOPS i meant bradford. It is like the Big Apple for immigration up here.
Bradford 3 is the worst. The majority are muslims and the men are completley out of control while the women have to wear hijabs and stay inside. Its like all the criminal activity in bradford starts there. -

Hi Guys,
Here's a piece of news I came across today.
The outcome of an arranged marriage.evilNovember 22, 2005 Deccan Herald
Greed for dowry claims a life on Ramzan feast
DH News Service Bangalore
For Noor Jaan alias Jelu (22), the day of Ramzan festival turned out to be a day of starvation and torture in the hands of her sadistic husband Shoukath Ali.For Noor Jaan alias Jelu (22), the day of Ramzan festival turned out to be a day of starvation and torture in the hands of her sadistic husband Shoukath Ali. She arranged for the feast after borrowing some money from her brother. When she served the food to Ali (25) who expected her to be starving when he returned, he set her ablaze and sat on the cot with her seven-month old child watching her burn. He guffawed when she writhed with pain and asked her ?Are you enjoying it??.
She narrated this to the police and Dr M Shankarappa at Victoria Hospital before her death on Sunday. She battled for life for nearly a fortnight in three hospitals.
Jelu had married Ali 21 months ago. She stayed with her in-laws in J J Nagar during the initial days of her marriage, where her in-laws -Shamsunnisa, Suban Saab, Yaseen and Keshar started harassing her for dowry. Husband Ali even set all her clothes on fire dubbing them as ?cheap?. Jelu lodged a complaint with JJ Nagar police when her sister-in-law Keshar burnt her hand with a heated knife.
But the police settled the dispute and Ali and Jelu started living separately in a rented house at Gangondanahalli. However, the torture did not stop.
He started forcing her to get Rs 50,000 from her parents, which she failed to arrange. He punished her by keeping her starved on the day of Ramzan feast. Jelu?s brother Salim, who visited her gave her Rs 50 and a new salwar kameez.
Ali who was enraged by this, assaulted her and set her ablaze after bolting the door from inside. She broke open the door and ran out screaming for help.
The neighbours admitted her to a private hospital. Chandra Layout police have registered a case of murder against Ali and dowry harassment against Jelu?s in-laws.

That article sickens me. The poor girl, I could just imagine what she must have gone through when she realised what he was about to do with her.
Where was her family when all this was going on?
I bet they are just like the rest of the parents in the world that force their daughters to get married and then turn away blindly when the poor girls need help.
They should get punished too for ignoring her. -
Hi Tahira,

They should get punished too for ignoring her.Yeah. Its quite sad how women get treated by sadistic sick men.
As for the girl's family, they live and believe in a society where divorce is a dirty word and the girl is expected to live at her husband's no matter what.
Its very sad. -
As Salaam Alaikum,
I must not know how to read, becuase when I was reading... it did not say that tehy had an arrange marriage. shock So how exactly does this have to do with arrange marriages?
And how in the world do you all know that this girl was forced to marry him?
Women in my country, America, are killed everday by their husbands and boyfriends.. who they knew before marrying them.
So PLEASE do not act as if domestic abuse and murder only happen in marraiges were it was an arraged marriage or forced one.
If anything the last 3 comments, just represent a classic case of racial profiling... "Oh SOuth Asian? It mus of been a forced marriage".
You want to talk about issues? Be real with the issues, not someone who does the propraganda.

Hi Noprogressive,
As Salaam Alaikum,
Welcome to the thread.)
I must not know how to read, becuase when I was reading... it did not say that tehy had an arrange marriage. shock So how exactly does this have to do with arrange marriages?
And how in the world do you all know that this girl was forced to marry him?Becoz in the society where she comes from, thats the only norm, especially among the poor.
Women in my country, America, are killed everday by their husbands and boyfriends.. who they knew before marrying them.
These are different issues. Men abuse women all around the world. But in these cases, Women are almost handed over to men they know nothing about.
So PLEASE do not act as if domestic abuse and murder only happen in marraiges were it was an arraged marriage or forced one.
No one said that. But arranged marriages in India and some other countries have a larger share of violence and abuses(manily dowry related). Do a google search of ''dowry deaths in india''. Here's one for a start Rising number of dowry deaths in India
If anything the last 3 comments, just represent a classic case of racial profiling... "Oh SOuth Asian? It mus of been a forced marriage".
