I think your best bet is to keep in touch as much as your parents will allow. This will atleast let her know that there is other people out there that cares for her. Hopefully if her mother isn't allowing her to go to school, she is teaching her the things she needs to learn at home so she may lead a normal life after she gets old enough to move on her own. As for getting married... her mother doesn't have a choice to let her or not once she is 18 years old.
Try to keep up the communication and let her know you love and care about her.

Socialization is vital to a child's developement . Stay in touch with this little girl and help her anyway you can, whenever you can. The mom sounds like she could use some counseling too. The girl will eventually grow up and see that there is far more to the world than her mother allows and hopefully will be strong enough to make her own choices.

It's extremely important. The mother is hindering her child and she will never be a viable part of society. The part about her not being able to marry is of no concern due to the fact that she will never be around a man her age if her mother has anything to do about it. I would go to the father and see what he feels about it. He is the only person that can do anything.

Yes, a social life is important. Not being socialized now in childhood will affect her negatively for the rest of her life.

If they don't get social activity at a young age they will be very shy. My brother's child is five but from the ages four-five she didn't talk to anyone she didn't know at all, but yeah, talk to them about it, they are overprotecting it sounds like... Maybe you could just ask her about it? Idk. Sorry.

That's sad. I hope she'll become wiser, and talk
more as she gets older.

you should report the mother, she can be charged for that
