This is what doweries are for just fyi. I would have no problem withholding my permission for my daughter's marriage if the suiter was not willing to provide a dowery.

I am an American genocide survivor. I was not able to protect or rescue my 4 children, primarily because my relatives have no idea what family is supposed to be, or are too selfish to care or get involved. I have, however, learned a LOT about how this vicious cycle works and how I could have saved them. It's a huge problem. It's an intentionally directed war on the family. Extended families must protect vulnerable members. No one else is going to do it. If it were my situation and it was up to me, I would try to get the whole tribe together and leave the country. Together. The 3rd world has a lot to offer in terms of anonymity BUT there is still risk as these monoliths of evil do have a world wide web of capture and control. Barring immigration, I would suggest following white walking feather here on steemit for the information you all will need for in-place expatriation. The solution is as big and arduous as the problem but why are we here if not to learn and do? Please rescue your loved ones. You do have the power and you do have the right.
