At the age of 16, Jasvinder Sanghera ran away from home rather than be forced to marry a man she had never met. She now runs a charity, Karma Nirvana, that helps girls facing forced marriages and is the author of two books

  • WOW...Amazing story, Kudos to her, I'd run away too. It took a lot of courage to leave her family, but I guess she had to do what she had to do...So sorry to hear about her sister. heartbreaking. Will try to get a copy of the book. Authorities should be forced to take action, I mean this is happening to young women born in Britain, the parents are from Asian countries, but they live in Britain so they should follow the law there or FORCED to follow British law!!!!

  • This is so horrible, and I hate people who tell me to be tolerant "because that's their culture". It's against human rights and it's disgusting. We need more shelters for the girls and women in danger.
