The muslims have a long and wrongful history of forcing two people to marry by fear of death or fear of other harsh punishment. There may be some people who are happy with arranged marriages , but not all and the ones who want out ,are in danger. Some muslim women who leave their husbands are punished not by his side of the family but her own. This muslim families fear lose of honor and have even killed their own sisters or daughters.
