FORCED MARRIAGE
i am an 18 year old bangladeshi girl who studied in oman, salalah. i have recently graduated and now want to complete my higher studies. there is only one uni in the entire city of salalah and its quite expensive for my parents and it doesnt have stem courses and hence i cant study in this uni. in other cities there are unis which do provide stem courses but my parents wont send me alone cuz a girl alone in another city? no way.
so my hopes of studying in oman is gone. my parents wont let me study anywhere outside cuz of my gender. and they believe a girl shouldnt be alone in a different country.
side note i am muslim and in my culture they dont let a girl leave for higher studies alone in another country cuz a girl will go out of hand (doesnt f*cking seem that for an xy chromosome)
in islam a girl is allowed to study in another country all alone as long as she doesnt do or indulge into haram. now that is my problem not my parents problem. and they dont f*cking own me and they have no rights to control my life. but this is exactly whats happening. my parents owning me not respecting my choices and opinions and trynna take control of my life.
i have relatives in USA and they wanna send me to US but they wont send me alone there again what if i get out of hand. so they are trying to get me into a forced marriage with my cousin. they recently got a proposal from a man who is in his late 20s near his 30s. their plan is to get me married (FORCED) and send me to USA so that i can complete my higher studies.
the whole reason they want me to get married is financial reasons and they believe a f*cking human with testicles will work and cover my tuition fees while i study. AND I DONT WANT THAT.
studying in bangladesh isnt safe so i dont wanna risk my life studying there even though my parents did agree to send me bd and make me study. why i didnt take this opportunity cuz even if i did study after 2 years they will get me married
every option they have needs to have marriage
study here in oman get married then study
study in bd study for 2 years get married and if ur man and in laws allow then complete ur education
study abroad get married take ur goddamn f*cking man with you and let him earn for you and pay ur tuition while u sit home study and be a part time house wife
i need help of you guys
please send me as many organizations as possible that help ppl who are in forced marriages
organizations in bd especially in sylhet as well as in US.
