UK: Muslim family forced daughter to marry cousin to stop her from getting “too Western”

Jul 14, 2019 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

What are the chances that this family will become loyal, productive members of British society? Right.

“British Muslim Family Forced Daughter to Marry Cousin to Stop Her From Getting ‘Too Western,'” Sputnik News, July 13, 2019:

As the woman herself has explained, the decision to marry her cousin was forced upon her by her family when they all were on vacation in Pakistan back when she was 17.

Nyla Khan, a 30-year-old British woman who was born and raised in Scotland, has recently revealed how about 13 years ago she was forced to marry her cousin in Pakistan because her family thought she was getting “out of control”.

During an interview with BBC Scotland, Nyla revealed that even though she knew from a young age that she was “promised” to marry her cousin, back then she felt stunned when her family went through with that scheme as they were “paranoid” about her possibly becoming “too Western”.

“They think they are protecting you. To them, out of control is becoming Western. Having a voice, expressing yourself, dressing differently, wanting more from life, not wanting to marry your cousin”, she said.

As Nyla explained, things came to a head when she was 17 and went to Pakistan with her parents on a family vacation. There, she woke up one day to have her entire family confront her in her room, telling her that she had “sinned” and “brought shame on the family”, and that the only way out of this predicament is marry her cousin.

“I kept saying no, from the morning until tea time. And they were still at it. And I gave in, just wanting them to shut up, just wanting them to be quiet. From there on, it is like your soul leaves your body because you become so numb. Because you have absolutely no power or control over what is happening”, she revealed….

      Given that the penalty for disobedience is death,,,,I feel sorry for the women, many of whom are treated as little more than slaves.
      In a lot of cases, the women simply don’t know any better, and if they do and are willing to speak out, then they end up in a world of shit.
      Only have to look at what happens to the Saudi women who try to do a runner.
      I’m not saying that there aren’t women terrorist, because there are. However a religion that treats their women and children like little more than cattle has no place in the civilized world.

      Paul you are somewhat lacking in perception also known as being dim. The story show clearly what happens when they have a spine and think for oneself. Which having been brainwashed from birth is extremely difficult
      for most of them. They are very likely to be murdered or at least cast into the outer darkness. Family honour always comes first and Muslims especially female ones are not supposed to enjoy life

      “have a moral spine?”
      Sometimes ignorance or fear can look like lack of morality. Victims don’t choose to be victimized.

    “to Marry Cousin to Stop Her From Getting ‘Too Western'”

    And to perpetuate the in-breeding and all the adverse consequences flowing from that.

      As crazy and biased as it seems, incest is actually the norm in Islam. That has serious consequences, and one of those is mental retardation. I have seen it.

    Muslims are the largest group of victims in Islam and Muslim women are the most represented within that group.

  6. Anjuli Pandavar says

    To the Muslim mind, this woman should be grateful. Her parent were generous. Shari’a gives them the right to kill her:

    “The following are not subject to retaliation:
    …a father or mother… for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring.”

    (The Reliance of the Traveller, Book O 1.2.4)

    Islam is a barbaric attempt at a religion. It succeeds magnificently with the barbarism but abjectly fails as a religion.

  8. Hugh Fitzgerald says

    The cousin-marriage favored in Islam — because you can only trust your relatives — results in many more congenital defects, Think of the number of such defects among Muslims in the West, that cost a fortune to treat. The non-Muslim taxpayers are the ones paying for it.

    If you ever visit Children’s Hospital in Boston, you will see the ocular proof: an endless stream of black-niqabbed women from the Middle East, with their children in tow. Care for these children is, I hope, being paid for by the Gulf Arabs themselves.

    • gravenimage says

      Jul 16, 2019 at 10:26 pm

      Grimly true.

      But no–I imagine we are paying for most of this care.

    Islam is the very definition of toxic masculinity.

    • smoris says

      Jul 15, 2019 at 4:00 am

      I would not say that. First, I don’t think that masculinity is toxic. Second, Muslim men don’t strike me as particularly “masculine” in any case. Toxic, very much so. Masculine? Not so much. Actually, not really on this point, but important, I think people should stop mouthing the slogans of the far left, such as “toxic masculinity”, for example. If we say this stuff enough just to fit in with the crowd, eventually it will become an assumption and perhaps one day a self-fulfilling prophesy. Let’s just not go there.

      • gravenimage says

        Jul 15, 2019 at 10:55 pm

        Yes–threatening 13-year-old girls is not very masculine.

    “Afterwards, Nyla went on to move from her home to study at a university and, in her own words, has been “an independent Muslim woman ever since”.

    I’m sure these types of barbaric, misogynistic Muslim behaviours happen in huge numbers. Late last week, in Australia, I think it was Friday last week, the Sydney newspaper, The Daily Telegraph, had a report about a young woman who had been rescued in Lebanon by Australian Federal police. The woman, living with her family in Sydney, had been sexually assaulted. Her barbaric Muslim family blamed her. She was no longer “pure” enough to marry off to some Muslim in Australia. They shipped her off to Lebanon to marry a cousin there. She apparently had plenty of courage and refused to marry the cousin. I think it was the cousin’s father, her uncle, who then proceeded to drug her and rape her. Somehow she managed to contact Australian authorities in Lebanon and Australian Federal police managed to extricate her. She is back in Australia. It was talked about a lot on talkback radio for a day or so. However, amazingly, it seems that nothing has happened, no criminal charges so far against her appalling parents. And, the young woman still goes home to her parents’ house sometimes, stays there sometimes etc. I think the Daily Telegraph said that there had been around 60 incidents of forced marriages last year. What struck me when I listened to talkback radio was hearing the shock horror tone (understandable) of presenters, yet knowing that they are people who still would never say, hey, let’s put an end to Muslim migration. To my mind, it’s as if they can’t see the forest for the trees. They understandably get outraged by incidents such as the one mentioned here, but never seem to say, well, why are we letting barbaric Islam, with practices like this, into our country. They don’t seem to connect the dots. It’s always, what a terrible incident, but, overall, Islam is OK, blah, blah. I keep thinking, some people are so stupid or, maybe, too cowardly to say what needs to said. OK, many Muslims wouldn’t be so revolting as this woman’s parents, but too many are and barbaric Islam would condone their truly evil behaviour.

    This is why Islam is incompatible with the West AND why Leftist Western “feminists” are BIG FAT phonies.
    (I once tweeted Linda Sarsour was a big fat phony fake feminist and it got me one of my multiple suspensions before I was permanently banned.) Here’s a real heroine— Ayaan Hirsi Ali…an apostate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJkFQohIKNI

      Jul 15, 2019 at 10:58 pm

      Yes–Ayaan Hirsi Al is a very brave woman. She also escaped a forced marriage to a cousin.

    UK: Muslim family forced daughter to marry cousin to stop her from getting “too Western”
    …………………….

    Child marriage, forced marriage, and inbreeding–all mainstream Islam.

    Western countries should stop the mass muslim migration. The people just want to be parasites, undermining the country that receives them for benefits and economic advantages while trashing and undermining the recipient societies. I remember a church in Germany that offered a free festive meal at Christmas. A lot of muslims showed up, but they were not interested in Christianity, they just wanted a free meal. Well, if that is what they want, they should stay away and live off of taxpayer funded facilities.
