"She is not pressing charges against her parents.
Her case is not an isolated one. For millions of Punjabis and many more South Asians settled in the West, there remains a strong desire to marry their children within their community and caste.
They also insist that the groom or the bride should belong to the country of their origin.
And all too often, to achieve their goal, parents end up torturing their offspring, either physically or mentally."

I swear, this is the last straw, I'm tired of this ********.
I used to tell people that don't let it get to you about what Sikhs do, just practice your own Sikhi and lead by example. But the Sikh community is far too messed up, this is the last straw. If these situations do not stop, I will gladly turn my back on the Sikhs, and never return. They will feel my wrath.
