My parents tried to force me to wed a stranger and said I'd be stoned to death if I said no

TRIP TO HELL Saliha was told she was going on hol

- 

away in marriage to my cousin. I was in shock. I didn't want to believe it but they told me preparations for the wedding had begun.

"When I refused, they threatened me, 'If you don't marry him we will say you have committed adultery and we will kill you'. I was told that meant I would be stoned to death unless I agreed to the marriage. I was terrified and felt trapped with no way out."

Saliha begged a shopkeeper to help her access the internet. Hiding in a toilet, she contacted child protection charities the NSPCC and ChildLine.

They referred her to a lawyer who initiated legal proceedings which saw the High Court issue a Forced Marriage Protection Order a legal tool to protect people like Saliha.

It names her parents and warns they could be imprisoned or have assets, including property, seized.
