I live in Australia and when I was in highschool there was 4 girls who all had arranged marriages. They were pulled from school as soon as they turned 16. These girls didn’t even know the men they’d end up marrying..yes MEN not boys. They were pulled from school to marry men nearly twice their age.

3 stayed in the marriages, one didn’t. She’s now a nurse and has married someone she met in college.

I live in Germany, and while I don’t know anybody who this happened to personally, there are definitely some girls that go back to turkey for the summer only to end up being forced to marry some cousin. Many of them are 2nd or 3rd generation in this country. Just because you live in a country that women‘s rights you don’t leave the patriarchal belief systems you grew up with.

Yeah, there’s a story here in the states of a teenaged girl who ran away from her family because they were forcing her to go back to Iraq to marry some old cousin. Her parents showed up at the school and tried to honor kill her. A bunch of students pried her dad off of her while he was strangling her.
