My aunties were all married between 15 - 17 to escape their abusive home that claimed to be Christian. Nalia, what you did is amazing. I hope we can see a similar law passed here in Ontario, Canada.
All forced marriage girls need to know, is as you have to go through security, alert somebody at security. They are actually trained to recognise this and act. You will be whisked away for "further security". Nobody else will be allowed anywhere near you.
Can I ask how you know this is it from personal experience or just some thing you’ve heard genuinely asking
I think mostly we try not to get our parents in trouble, No matter what we have to go through 💔
I’m just imagining the thousands of girls who do not have the opportunity to be saved and are still living in this hell of a marriage. It’s so sad that this is still happening
I have heard similar stories from girls in the UK, Australia, USA. These parents are monsters
Imagine looking like a family member of hers or any other extremist Muslim and being mistreated because you look like their family
@@onewotldgovernmentonlywhen9044 keep being muslim out of it
As a Pakistani you are right my grandma force me for marriage with my cousin
@@MoroccanQueen364 naah they still muslim, morocco isn't any better either lmao.
@@llj500 tbh yes , I'm Moroccan I love my country to death but dammit laws here suck , especially religious related laws like abortion laws or inheritance or marriage , it fucking sucks , I wish the seperation of law and religion
Shame on your parents for doing this to you! You're a strong woman.
Wow... she touches my soul! We don't ask to be born were we are! We don't ask for our parents! To take her life and turn it to a positive life changing thing!!! The kind of women I strive to be
I’m married to a Asian guy & I’m so shocked at some of the things when it comes to marriage & what she is saying about being promised it’s mind blowing to me because I’m English & marrying your cousin is just not something that happens in our culture I’m sure you could possibly go to prison for things like that, but it’s totally normal for them , I had one of my brother in laws saying one day my daughter will marry your son & visa versa & I said over my dead body & now we haven’t spoken to each other for years & it can stay that way, thank you for sharing your story 😊
Queen Elizabeth married her cousin. Cousin marriage is legal in the UK. So, cousin marriage is a part of your culture. It may not be as prevalent as in Asian cultures but it is a part of the culture.
@@seekinggodfirst754 oh wow I didn’t know that, thank you but it still doesn’t make it right or ok
South Asian? Be specific Indian? Pakistan?
@@seekinggodfirst754 that's only for royalty. Royalty did that to keep the blood same. It's not the case for common people, as far as I have read.
@@seekinggodfirst754 in most westernised countries it's illegal for first cousins to marry.
Phillip and QEII weren't first cousins.
It’s hard enough being married to someone you pick. Can’t imagine being married to a random person
,😂😂
Shame on any system that 'allows' marriage at 14! 😳
I love her!!! She’s wonderful!! I’m so glad you survived this!!! 💜💕💜💕💜✨✨✨
You are amazing. Thank you all you are doing!
She is such a ball of light. May the Lord continue to protect you and bless you always xx
Marriage is never wrong but marriage to a wrong person is always hell. I petty those parents who don't know how precious their children are.
Hats off to Nyla ❤️❤️
What? Marriage is never wrong? Marriage of a child is always wrong. Forced marriage is always despicable.
You will never know all the lives ypu've impacted with this law change. Thank you so much for changing those lives and inspring us all to use that fighting spirit for Good.
God she’s so smart and tough
What a wonderful woman! So happy she escaped that life. 👏
Hi Naila. You are a real fighter. Speaking up for all abused women is one but work together, to rescue other women, in bondage.
Our prayer's, for you, your son and all women.
Pakistani and all women and children matter No mother or father should ever harm their own their own child and ruin their innocence all women lives matter she is a warrior keep fighting for other little girls going threw this this and the parents should be put in prison
She's very well spoken. She knows what she's talking about.
Many parents who have had an arranged marriage destroy their childrens lives for no reason .
I am so glad you had the courage to find your way out. You have come a long way.
She’s amazing ❤️❤️❤️ Sending love to you Naila
Omg....i worked in a tele rep dept. @ the age of 21. This was yrs ago. On a lunch time rest outside on a picnic there was a hindu girl there I worked with...she was crying cz she had to leave her family and get married to a stranger she hadn't even met...we spoke about it, she was crying....next day she wasn't at her desk anymore....i don't have any idea what became of her.
I’m so glad that she was able to escape
Power to you girl.. amazing story...well done in bouncing back in life
Arrange marriage for adults that fully consent to it is one thing but not a forced marriage. That is not acceptable, period!
This is how all women in the Middle East should be able to speak. She’s hilarious and just capable of anything
"Do you know what happened last night" "no I am 8 I was playing with a goat"
Thank u for sharing your story im in tears ❤ i will never forget to spread the word of this issue
It's v common. In India where even adult females r married forcibly by their parents after paying huge amount of dowry to greedy grooms n in laws .
You and others like you, are amazing women! Thank you.
THANK you so much for finding your VOICE and sharing!! You make a difference!!
Hats off to u mam...u are a Power woman empowering and inspiring suppressed women all over the world...my big salute to u....
Nila you have got people helping you with this your lucky god bless you child. Take care of yourself
I pray that the people responsible for this, suffer consequences
Amazing work Nyla. You are a blessing to the world
Glad you speak out and have managed to make some improvements.
How did the embassy know to go find her. I wish there was some detail in the story
You are a brave warrior!!!! Thank you. ❤️
No one deserves to be forced to be married
I salute you BRAVE Lady. ❤
God bless you and your beautiful volunteering to share your story to help others.
Thanks for sharing! So wonderful you were able to escape!!
Love her!!! Sounds more like an Italian from NJ to me.. I don’t see no Pakistani here. 😂❤😂 Props sis!
Wow!!thank you for sharing your sad story im sorry you are beautiful and amazing lady..
If you are in this situation, please tell people, MANY people from another culture who will be able to help you or make calls for you.
I am so glad to hear she got help. So hard on women of these muslim cultures, unfair. Unacceptable!
Unfortunately this happens in other religious circles as well. Any "fundamentalist" or "orthodox" group is a yellow flag for me. Some of them are fine but a lot are very abusive. Especially to women and children.
I am glad she managed to escape, Her parents need to be arrested for allowing it. I hope she can move on and find happiness.
Thank you for sharing your story!
Glad the US stepped up but it was only because she was a US citizen, I wish they would be able to go after all these women all over the world to help them. I can't even imagine the horror that her and others go thru
Wow I’m shocked this is all happening. & I know Queens NYC! I’m shocked
Wonderful interview🙏
Courageous lady thanks for educating others
Thank you so much for telling your story ❤️🌺🙏
God bless this beautiful, resilient woman! Praying the rest of her life is happy & healthy ❤🛐 🌻 She’s such a precious soul. 🕊️ I’m sooooo sorry this happened to her 😢 💔 🌹 God, protect her & keep her from evil all of her life 🙏 AMEN 🕉️
Good girl sweetheart u made it proud of u God bless u and yr family ❤
Nina, thank you for sharing your story. You are so pretty !!
What a warrior 🙌🤗❤️
You have done so much. Thank you
Thank you Naila ❤😊
She's amazing
Good for you..❤❤😊😊
I have seen so many Pakistani girls having this story ... what are the parents made up of ... selling their kids as tickets
Your name sounds Indian or from elsewhere in the subcontinent and child forced marriage is common everywhere in the subcontinent. Stop spewing hate specifically on Pakistan when it exists in your own country too.
Indians do it too. Forced marriage situation is like"Namaste London". Real life is scary.
Yeah maybe it's universal...
@@rashmipoojari7929 not universal at all
@@rashmipoojari7929 its not universal. Because now we live in an age of sluts and prostitutes. There was a time when people would follow their own religion which told women to keep away from men. As such the only way to find a husband was to have your father select one for you. Religion has not changed. People have.
Thank Goodness for your "Loud Mouth" and you "Never shutting up about it." Thank you, Thank you, *THANK-YOU!**
This goes to show just how Terrible people can be
Hi Naila
That is an amazing
God works an a amazing way
I was in India twice and I heard allot about Paskistan but thank you for sharing your story
It's amazing
Good for Naila!
You’re so amazing and I’m so happy you got away 😊
NO Adult...No Matter What their Profession...
NO matter what title they hold...
NO Matter What economic Status,...
NO Matter What their Culture...
NO Matter what race, Creed, or Color...
NO ADULT wheather, they are a Adult Caretaker of children, teacher, parents, aunts, uncles, or anyone else, should have any sexual attraction to children, this is very disturbing to me, Very Strange, Odd, Demented, Sick, Weird, and Outrageous to me.
*THERE IS NOTHING about a child, male, or female is attractive sexually, Nothing
*Children are children as should be treated as such.
*They are NOT mature
*They have NO COMPREHENSION of Sex.
They have NO COMPREHENSION of Romance
*Sex and intimacy is in nature biologically is designed for Adults,
NOT CHILDREN.
I Cannot Comprehend any Adult thinking of a child a such a inappropriate manner.
*This is a previous response I wrote to an article on Child Marriage;
I don't understand why anyone would attempt to marry a child, this is unthinkable, children are not capable of Romantic Relationships, they cannot process adult Relationship lifestyles.
*They are children and function as children, they are being placed, and forced in adult Relationship situations, and they cannot process nor understand it until they are Adults.
*Nothing about a child is capable of handling a Romantic Relationships, Physical Relationships, Mentality handling Adult Relationships, and Lifestyles and financial matters.
*A Child cannot understand the Deeper Matters of the Hearts, or
Deep involved Love connections etc.
*So, it baffles me to think any man would be interested in a relationship with a child.
*Why not choose an Adult Woman who is matured in Mind, Body, and Spirit, intelligence...?
*I could NEVER be attracted to s child.
*(I have NEVER, NEVER BEEN attracted to a child nor teenager male or female)
*Children need to be focused on getting their early childhood education, and growing up around other children and playing with other children.
*I cannot fathom why a man would be interested in a Child as a Bride,( or any intimate sexual manner whatsoever)
Sexual attraction towards a child is Madness, and Unnatural, and Demented thinking
*A Child could NEVER appreciate Romance, Poems, Dinning, or a Dinner date etc.
Really! marry a child...this makes No sense to me!
(I have NEVER, NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN attracted to a child nor teenager male or female)
This is beyond my comprehension.......

Wow!
Thank god
In india legal age of marriage for girls is 18 years old. Thank god i born in india
What kinda parents force kids in this
This happens every day in India so Pakistan still share some old customs especially the uneducated areas.....
But now is totally different people are more educated and they know more about religion.
This forced marriages are cultural thing not religion.
I see it’s very common to marry cousins in Pakistan. 🤢
meh
Yeah right most pakistanis in pakistan are absolutely ignorant about religion
@@BattingMyLashes you are extremely thick if you think there is anything wrong with marrying couins 🙄🙄🙄🙄. Join a school.
@Raza Mughal cousin marriage is allowed but not encouraged. It's scientifically proven that offspring of cousins are mentally and physically ill after an extent. When you willingly marry your cousin, knowing that your child may suffer because of your genes and actions is just evil. If you're the only one who is marrying your cousin in your Gen, that's okay. But if every cousin marries every other cousin, then it'll surely result in disabled children
What culture are you talking about? I'm Indian hindu, very very negligible to absolutely no amount of cousin marriage happens in my faith at all. It's freaking disgusting. What old custom are you talking about?
dis is such a disgustin and a shameful part of desi culture. hope so the parents are held accountable.
Love u nyla sister frm India.
Wow!!!!
OMG..💔🙏
You are a cool lady!
I saw your story on other channel you were saying that I ran at the 10 day of marriage and lots of different things and know your story is change
Consent to marriage at 14 !!!! Wtf , I’m sorry no matter how mature a 14 year old feels like they are a kid ! I was doing so many dumb things at 14, very childish things and 100% NOTA EVEN THINKING ABOUT SEX OR MARRIAGE TGATS WEIRD AF
Firstly u r so beautiful 🥰
Know the factual reality of cultures and traditions if you are exposed to others in any way. Protect yourself. No one else is going to protect you from the traditions and cultures that overpower your humanity and GOD
They could have shook hands, just a bit weird and a bit too close for my liking 7:38. Sometimes people in power act all innocent. But glad she survived.
May God protect her in Jesus name
I'm amazing I survived
6:40
😂😂😂
I didn't know the brother's children could marry! I thought children of brother and sister could. 'Guess I was wrong
I always said force marriages is abuse. Idc if it's traditional and normal in a cultures, It's wrong imo
I respect US system even more now.
The mother of the believers was married at 6. What you talking about Willis?
Shut up
@@SamiraIge Oops. Me and my big mouth.
And thats WHY your mother and sisters are converting to the MEGA SUCCESS that is islam, in their MILLIONS 🤔
@@razamughal9095 honey that's called forced conversion and love jihad
@@user-hk3ns9eo7k you wish, GET OFF YOUR DRUGS 🙄🙄🙄
How did the White people knew her child marriage?? I don't get the sequential event in her story.
Found this online, it was her uncle who called the US authority about her case.
"I had an uncle who understood how I felt, and was very sympathetic towards me and my situation. He helped me call my social worker from when I was in the foster care system to seek help to come home. I escaped with help from the U.S. State Department, and my mother was arrested upon arrival at JFK for kidnapping. Without the help that was available to me because of my prior circumstances as a foster child, I would have had an extremely difficult time returning to the United States on my own. That was my ticket out."
❤❤❤
And yet she will still choose islam and give birth to muslim children and they will eventually come for our children coz is,is
Well if she does, she produces muslim children who support human rights, western values, dreams and ambitions. How is that a bad thing. I didn’t understand your coz is, is. Raise your children right and they will show respect to who ever comes to them.
@@missJolie85 ISIS exists . Taliban exists . Pakistan exists . You should go there for yourselves and see what those people think of non muslims . What they will fo to you . The hatred is in the mindset . GO EXPERIENCE IT FOR YOURSELF . ALOT OF UR OPINIONS WILL CHANGE . AND REMEMBER THEY ARE JUST WAITING TO SPREAD IN NUMBERS AND EXPAND NUMBERS . THEN THEY WILL SHOW U WHO THEY ARE . AND MUSLIMS DONT CONDEMN THE VIOLENT ACTS OF HORRIBLE MUSLIMS .
idu y u ppl blame islam for dis when it is their cultures fault. islam is strictly against wat she went through
@@سلامہريکےreally? I wonder if you know the story of how abu bakr gave his daughter Aisha to muhammed.
المرأة المسلمة لا تكن عاصِية لربّها و ترضى بالتّبرّج كالمرأة الغربية .. استري جسمك أوًلا طاعة لربّك قبل الحديث عن عنف ربّما فيك انتِ شخصيّا وَ ليس في تعاليم الإسلام الرًاقية ..
لماذا لم تتحدثي عن ما فعلوه معها؟ بدلا من التحدث عن ملابسها؟
و كيف كانو المسلمين كنبيك و عمر بن الخطاب و غيره يتعاملو مع النساء غير المسلمات في اسواق الرق، الواتي كانو يشتروهم كملكات يمين؟
