If your sister truly is mentally challenged then there should be a guardian in her charge. That person has the power to not allow her to be taken advantage of. If she has a diagnosis of mental retardation, Autism, dementia, or the like then there is no way this person could marry her if there was a guardian in place. If there is no appointed guardian, you could file for guardianship, or someone who is responsible for her (parents, aunts uncles etc) could file for it. If you truly feel he is out to take advantage of your sis, then there is an "emergency" guardianship process that you can go through most family courts for. What ever the case, if she truly is mentally challenged, with a diagnosis, it is fairly easy for you to prevent someone taking advantage of her. Good Luck!

See you are being too judgemental and are taking it for granted that he is going to cheat your mentally challenged sister.Study him man , study from what he says and study his body language i.e the way he talks, his gestures, his looks, his movement everthing you watch and analyse it. Find out if he is already married or he is under the control of his parents etc.You also put him questions on committment because . a good marriage would be when both of the partners have a total committment that inspite of all known and unkown hurdles they will stay married whole through out their life. If this committment is taken then everything is ok. Instead of having this committment nowadays most of the people simply pass on days by sleeping together thinking they would understand each other but only land up with losing interest in sex with the partner and venturing for new friends. Get this committment from your sisters friend then everything is ok and also it would help your mentally challenged sister to lead a peaceful life.

If she is as stubborn as you say she is, there is probably little you can do about it. I wish you would have given more detail like the severity of her disablility and her age. Those may have legal ramifications. Sometimes, just like with anyone else, we have to let ou loved ones make mistakes, be there for them and support them through it. Pray that everything else works out and hope that it turns into life lessons. Sometimes thats what it takes for some to learn.

If she's at the right age to decide for herself
then you have to leave it to her, her life, her lesson.
She'll learn as she goes. just hope that she'll be ok.
At least this guy is serious about your sister and not
playing with her. If this guy is in love with your sister,
it might go well.
Hopefully it will turn out right, I know you're worried,
but when someone is in-love it is strong and you
cannot stop two people .
