Oh please don't start the taboo thing again.
I'm sure Reviva would thank you for not being concerned for her and others like her. and I'm sure she and they would be sorry that you are offended of her plight.

I know it's there.
We are talking forced marriages, not arranged marriages.
which in this country are not justified by religious or cultural beliefs.
The help they get is a refuge. if that's not available they have to register on the housing list. the application would be homeless due to domestic violence.
the help they receive is to take them away from the family environment. they have to cut ties with the family.
educate the parents and the family that this is not acceptable in this country? educate the child to report it when it all kicks off?
or pick up on little things and make an issue out of that instead of the issue in hand.
