There is a cashier at a local grocery store here that is from India. She was forced to go back to India and marry a man she had never met. He eventually came here with her but he was a drunk and couldn’t hold a job. She was a sweet person, but before long she was seen at work with bruises, kept her head down, and was pregnant. Within a year of being here she had his child, had been beaten many times and was supporting his lazy a**. He could of killed other people as well, he was finally put in jail after his third DWI. I hope he’s gone for good. Everybody tried to help her but she refused to report him and while her parents seemed like decent people they refused to step in as she now “belonged to him.” The last I heard (when he was put in jail) the parents at least let her and the baby move back home.
That is a shame the families sometimes dragoon partners like this, even in the USA (and it could easily also turn out the other way around, the woman is the cad).
Don’t they at least have a vague idea that “bad karma” comes their way by doing this, to put it in terms of their belief system?
