Kitty Thunder agony auntForced to marry? I'm sorry but there is no word bad enough for that. You need to report it to the law, it is illegal as a previous poster said. Anyone being forced to marry against their will is being denied their own human rights.

Don't run away. Keep a steady head, use good logic and the power of the law to keep this from happening. That said, both of you follow your hearts. ALWAYS. Don't hesitate a minute to stop what is happening.

you cant run away together with just a reason of you love each other so much..both of you must think of it hundred times because not only your life is at stake but your family, your bf, as well as your bf's family..love conquers all, love move mountains but love also fades..thats the truth we can't escape from..nothing is forever, everything changes..we just have to be prepared to all the changes that might come..but if you really can help it then do it..at least you tried your best to fight for it than regreting it at the end..

This website will help you.

Forced marriage is illegal in the UK and if you call the number on the site then they will be able to help your boyfriend.

His family will not know who made the call.

Don't run away together as it is very dangerous and you may both end up on the streets and desperate, which is not a good place to be.

Good Luck!! xx
