I remember back in 2004 (when I was finishing my senior year of high school), there was a girl in my Health class who burst into tears one day. She told the teacher that she has a boyfriend, but her Pakistani parents were forcing her to marry her first cousin. Besides, that **** isn't even legal in New York. So, I have no idea how they could do something like that...
Then there was another incident a few years ago. There was a Bengali girl in my Japanese language class who complained that here parents wouldn't allow her to go on a field trip to Washington D.C. When I asked her about it, she said it was because they didn't want her hanging out with other kids who aren't from Bangladesh
