Women’s groups campaign in D.C. to help victims of forced marriages
2015-03-31
Long story in WaPo -- the wimmins groups in the story genuinely are trying to help young women born into immigrant Pakistani and other Asian families avoid the trap of the arranged marriage. Of course it's WaPo so turn your bias filters on.

#1  Make note that those who inhabit the bubble of 'modern' Western urban civ do not understand that for thousands of years arrange marriages were and are an economic contractual relationship between families and clans. When you are among the poorest, and lack the social economic structure that the West has enjoyed for generations, these have been among the means to survival of blood. In the West, that component has largely disappeared in practice and in awareness. Let them eat cake?
