I remember reading an article in Seventeen about a couple who had come to America to get away from the girl's family. She had been arranged to marry one of her cousins who she dispised. She ran away, refused to eat and other things.
Her father actually put her in a body cast for several months and forced her to stay in a room w/ no windows. He denied her anything but food and water. No TV, magazines, books, or music.
I can't even imagine that kind of hell, and I'm very proud of her for standing up to what she believed. I know I couldn't go through with that. After I read the article, I thanked God for giving me such wonderful parents, and for placing me here in good 'ol America.
