Hostage tells of prison in the Wellington suburbs....

 Are you kidding me.......this happening in Wellington New Zealand ?

 For months, in an ordinary house in a Wellington suburb, a 17-year-old Pakistani was held hostage, trapped in a marriage forced on her by her parents and threatened with death.

The woman, who does not want to be identified, was married in 2010 without her consent or knowledge after her Muslim parents learned she had a Hindu boyfriend and became concerned she was too westernised. The man they chose for her was a distant relative, a 21-year-old she had met in passing.

 

The Wellington teenager refused to go ahead with the marriage, despite months of family threats of deportation and violence.
Then her parents took her to the Internal Affairs Department to sign what they said were visa documents but which she later found were marriage papers.
That night a ceremony was held at her parents' home. She was told it was an engagement ceremony and, if she did not attend, she would be deported. After the ceremony she said her father told her she was married and was to go to her husband's house in Newtown with him that night.
"I was crying all day and night. I didn't want to get married. I don't think any 17-year-old girl would want to get married.
"I was freaking out. I was still in shock and told the guy not to touch me. He was trying to be forceful to me sexually but, when I warned him about the police, he backed off."
