 LAHORE: A woman committed suicide by swallowing poison in the Raiwind area on Thursday because her father had married her to an old man against her will. Noreen's father had married her to an aged man. On Wednesday, she had a scuffle with her father after which she swallowed poison. Family members rushed her to Jinnah Hospital where she died on Thursday. The body was returned to the family without an autopsy. |

| #2 I wish the girls would quit making this mistake. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT swallow poison. Instead give it to the old bastard to swallow, *and* to whoever it is forcing you to get married. If a mere dozen women did this, that forced marriage bull crap would dry up overnight. |
