okay my friend is only 15 and her mom is trying to make her marry a thirty-year-old that molested her, but her mom doesnt know he did that. the only way she cant get married to him is if she marries this 26 year old that can protect her. but its also their custom to marry older guys. she likes the younger guy better but still doesnt want to get married. If she doesnt get married at all she has to go to egypt. she doesnt know what to do cuz shes scared of her mom. she wanted me to put this up cuz she doesnt have a computer. PLEASE HELP

If she's in the US there are laws to protect her and keep her from getting married at 15yo no matter what nationality she is.
Tell her to talk to an adult & tell them what's going on & ask for help.

First of all is this girl a U.S. citizen ?? If so tell her to go the welfare office...there they can help her. There she can tell them she was molested by that guy and they will have him arrested for touching a minor. If she tell them her mom is forcing her to marry at the age of 15 they can put her into a foster home and she won't have to go back to Egypt !!!
That or she can run away from home.. and have her stay with your family...I mean her parents sound irresponsible she needs to leave.

ask your friend to go talk candidly to either1) mother and maybe even father... 2) guidance counsellor 3) authorities.... she should not marry at 15... she should not EVER marry that first choice... he should be brought to justice though..... she should be free to grow up.... at 15 she hasn't.... her parents might surprise her and see things her way... especially if she tells about that thirty yr old.... and call it all off... let her make her own choices.... upsetting them and the threat of being sent to a home country might hold weight.... but if her parents can not be made to see how she feels (or that their first choice is total crud!!) then there are courts... they can and would take those parental rights away... emmanicipate her..... and then that threat would be gone... her family might be as well though.... at least for the immediate future.... remind your friend that she has rights and the states protect children (even from her parents) pass on a good luck! to your friend

Your friend needs to tell her mom how it is. Tell her to tell her mom about the molestation and tell her that she dosen't want to go to egypt or get married. Her mother is not a very good mother if she is taking her daughters childhood away. If that dosen't work then marry the younger guy and then divorce him right after they get married. Sorry I don't have any other advice!:(

first off this girl CAN'T go to the parents.. you people know as well as i do that they aren't going to change their customary and religious beliefs.. this girl needs to call CPS immediately... look in the phonebook and find your local child protective services and tell them what your friend has told you..
