After having a one or two child, women forget that how and why they wed to the men they never wanted to. Their real inner happiness fades away with the time and they become cogs in the machine.

Marriage has been meant to be the source of happiness which in Pakistan is just a decisions made by parents regardless of the choice of their daughter. Sons are also the victim of Forced marriages but are such cases are less in numbers. Parents must seek her daughters will for the particular proposals.
