I would be very concerned no matter the race, creed, culture if my daughter (which I don't have one) married without telling me anything at all.

My prayers for your friends, G.Ā  It does sound odd, but I hope things will work themselves out for the good of everyone.

It seems to me that she may have been either embarrassed or ashamed ( for some reason ) or simply fearful of her parent's reaction in general. I suppose it's a difficult situation for anyone to be in. Still, a puzzler indeed . . .

Re:

Justi, it is very puzzling indeed.

Re:

Annicita...or maybe it's how I wrote it and they are hurt and confused that she lied to them for a year.

Re:

That's why we're all so confused about it, Kabu, it's odd that she would lie like this.

Re: GG

Naut: se finally broke down and told them herself because she is 4 mos pregnant and they will see it soon enough. They are more pissed that she has been lying for over a year more than anything.

I can imagine it is a very scary, sad and puzzling situation.

Maybe they are bigoted towards muslims...maybe she feels stifled...

I can just imagine the tension that is being felt within that family. I, too, would wonder what other secrets she has.

scary...I mean why not tell her family unless she is ashamed or radicalized or terrified. Makes no sense.

Very strange indeed!Ā But if their daughter did not tell them, how did they find out? Apart from that - well, as you know, I have certain well-founded views on that whole Muslim scene, but it never makes sense to generalize about individual cases...
