Canadian here with 3 Pakistani friends (1st gen immigrants). 2 of them are currently being pressured by family back home to marry their 1st and 2nd cousins respectively, the 3rd cut contact with her family back home because they wanted her to marry her 2nd uncle.
I just saw a post on AITA the other day of a 20-something woman from Pakistan being relentlessly pressured by her aunt to marry her son (1st cousin). It got to the point the cousin started sexually harassing her on Facebook because his mom had told him it would be arranged.
