#3 I don't think they have much of a choice. Two minor girls crossing the border without visas will have to be sent back. The Pakistani state apparatus will claim that they will guarantee the girl's safety.

Hopefully someone in the Pak government will take an interest and prevent the parents from going forward.

#4 These girls are dead sometime in the next three months; the 'crime' will be 'dishonoring' their families. We all know it.
