WASHINGTON (Daily Point) — At the tender age of 19, Hamna Zafar, a Pakistani American, encountered a pivotal moment in her life – either yield to an arranged marriage in Pakistan or pursue her American aspirations.
Hailing from Maryland and born into an immigrant family, Zafar had consistently been the dutiful daughter. However, her parents’ unexpected insistence on an arranged marriage disrupted her carefully laid-out plans.
In 2019, on what appeared to be an ordinary family trip to Pakistan, Zafar was taken aback to realize that it was, in reality, her engagement celebration.
