#3 The thing not mentioned in the article is that the girl is not Pakistani, nor half-Pakistani. It's her mother's possibly common-law husband and father of her youngest child, Mohammed Khan, who is the Pakistani, according to the news report on the television this morning. Given that the child was not born to the religion or the culture, where could she possibly have gotten the idea that she was going to be suddenly married off at such a young age, in country she'd never seen before?

According to ABC News,

o Mrs. Bender said she wanted to take the children to see her husband's family and homeland,

o she was going to take the girl, an honours student, out of school for two months for the purpose

o the girl and her brother live with Mrs. Bender's brother and disabled, aged mother; it was that uncle who hid the girl, clearly believing her fears valid
