From our bulging Sharia Turns Women Into Commodities file comes this marvelous tidbit from glorious Eurabia. More on this story. "Parents drugged, bound and gagged doctor in forced marriage bid," by Chris Smyth in the Times, December 19 (thanks to all who sent this in):
An NHS doctor was imprisoned, drugged, bound and gagged before being forced into marriage in Bangladesh, it emerged today, as a British judge issued an order telling her parents not “to pester, harass or intimidate” her.Dr Humayra Abedin, 32, was held captive for four-and-a-half months by her family and was forced to marry while under the influence of drugs. She was freed by a court in Bangladesh and returned to Britain on Tuesday.
In the High Court in London this morning, Mr Justice Coleridge issued injunctions against Dr Abedin’s parents, a paternal uncle and the man she was forced to marry.
He declared that it was “vitally important for the message to be understood in those communities where this kind of behaviour is sanctioned” that the courts will act “swiftly and decisively” in cases were there had been such a “gross abuse of an individual’s human rights”. [...]

'British judge issued an order telling her parents not “to pester, harass or intimidate” her.'
Whoops! The judge forgot to include no "honor killing" either. These people are kind of dense so you need to be-very-clear-how-you-explain-it-to-them.
Yep! You're right, Isabella! Maybe some cautions about kidnapping, bondage and drugging would be good, too.
Odd, but I don;t see anything in the article about the marriage being "annuled" or made invalid due to the force used to perpetrate it.
So - is she still married to the guy? If yes, her fate is sealed.
The marriage was annulled, but you know she was raped, probably while still drugged. After all, she's "crazy" for being with a Hindu and not wanting to be pimped into sex slavery in Bangladesh in lieu of living a civilized life as doctor with a good man in the UK. At least he wasn't her uncle. That's usually how it works in South Asia.
"At least he wasn't her uncle. That's usually how it works in South Asia."
No doubt a joke - in fact, as often than not, as far as Pakistan and Bangladesh go, it's a first cousin.
No, it's usually a paternal uncle in South Asia. Hindus only stopped doing that in the last 50 years. Muslims will keep doing it until they live in zoos.

They also do the reverse dowry thing.
