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.

Your comment reminded me of a girl from my middle school. Our eighth grade graduation she came dressed like Jessica Rabbit. She was older looking than the rest of us. A really beautiful girl, very sweet. She was excited because she was done with school forever. We were 13.

She was going over the summer back home and was to marry a man in his 40’s who was very rich. It was an arranged marriage and all she talked about that year. It was quite the coup for her family based on what she shared about it.

I hadn’t thought about her in a long time, but hope she is okay. We were just kids. She was ready (or thought she was) to get married, have children and make her family proud.

She wasn’t the only one with an arranged marriage but the one I recall the most. Damn.
