sounds like a messy situation. not worth the trouble it can cause.
The ghosting says otherwise
It didn't say that. We don't know their culture. She can't manage a sneaky text or DM to him? Not so sure of her "feelings" for him.
Doesn't she have human rights? Can't she back out of the marriage? It's her life not her parents or her in-laws. She should've have a say in that. Tell her that you still want to be with her
In many cultures, arranged marriages are normal. People I know who've been married in arranged marriages do generally get to say no, but the parents still pick the potential partners to accept or decline. In more traditional families, there is huge cultural pressure to accept such an arranged marriage, even when they move to western countries where there is no strict requirement. Social pressure can be a huge motivating factor. (Would you feel pressure if your parents, siblings, and friends would all disown you for such a decision). Though worse, in many countries, in some families they don't really even get the choice, and their human rights don't really play into the equation. It's often not legal sanctioned, but the law doesn't really matter to some people. OP doesn't say where they live.
say something to her . there's gotta be a way .
