- My Couzen got forced to get married by her parents. She got beaten and battered untill she agreed. But than 2 weeks in the marriage she ran away. Her sister and her mother were the criminals who got her dad to beat her up. Wherever my couzen is now I hope she is enjoying her life and I hope her parents learn from their mistake!

- Just to inform everyone, the Forced Marriage (Civil Protection Act) 2007 came into force on 25th November 2008 and it has effectively made forced marriage a criminal offence (see http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2007/ukpga_20070020_en_1) :D

- Almost all christians, muslims, sikhs & jews are murderers. Almost all other murderers are christians, but are in the disguise of non-christians. They always try to make others look bad to justify the murdering. Ref.: myspace.com/vidhu2

- Forced marriage should be criminal - there is no doubt about it - it is an invasion to one's freedom and a breach of one's private life.

- It is important to know that christian priests are the biggest terrorists, because they bribe terrorists & criminals to murder non-christians. Ref.: www.myspace.com/vidhu3

- I support this petition. But sonia gandhi, rahul gandhi & maneka gandhi are christian terrorists. They are starving many Hindus to death. Ref.: www.myspace.com/vidhu2
