My cousin did exactly that. The whole family was so much against it, I think she did it to spite everyone. Then she went to live in Iran. After some years of that, she managed to escape Iran, I think in the early 90s. I don't think anyone rubbed her face in it. They were just glad she survived it.
I don't know if others do it just to spite everyone, but we felt this is what happened.

She was likely young and foolish...most are ...and stupid as well. I worked with a young 20 something who got involved. Her parents and everyone were trying to tell her the danger and such...but she wasn’t up for it as the guy drenched her with lots of gifts and attention. His intentions were to marry an American woman in order to attain citizenship.

When she finally broke it off there were threats etc. until the family had to move her out of state, it was that serious.
