Please read this Whatsapp conversation I had with a reader yesterday. According to him, he is right now housing a 19 year old girl who fled home because her parents are trying to force her into a marriage with a man she knows nothing about. How heartbreaking!
Please don't just read, comment and walk away. If you can help, Our chat continues below.

Good evening Naijapals, Hope the family is doing great. I need your assistance. I'll need you to help me reach out to those concerned in this kind of situation. A friend of mine who happens to be just 19years old is about to be forced to get married to who she doesn't know. Her parents had already arranged for her marriage without her consent. Lately, pressure has been on her to follow the guy to his home @ Lekki. Presently she left home and is putting up with me. I don't know who her parents are. I just want to help her get Justice and I need you to help me contact the Organisation that can fight for her. I don't want to equally get into trouble. She has her National Diploma (ND) in Economics. And hails from Imo State. Yesterday she sent a touching message to her parents about how she feels. Instead of feeling regrets, their response to her message shows clearly that their mind is made up. They don't even want her home. They told her they're trying to better her life and their lives. That she's ungrateful.
In fact I don't know what to do

Maybe d guy is rich dats why they want to sell her to him. Dats wat poverty can cause. Well at 19, she is not under age. If its cus she does not love him then I can understand. She shld go to her extended family to persuade her parent to leave her to choose her choice and time for marriage.
