Forced Marriages Quotes

“Let it be known that this bond is unbreakable, as enduring as the strength of our realm.

What is bound cannot be unbound.”

“don’t ask if you’re being forced into marriage
by your family
or even by the man you’re marrying
ask if you’re forcing yourself

ask your conscience if you’re being pressured by social media
if the pestering questions by relatives has gotten to you now
if seeing couples made you jealous
&made you believe that the way your life is wasn’t good enough”
― Xayaat Muhummed, The Breast Mountains Of All Time Are In Hargeisa

“don’t ask if you’re being forced into marriage

by your family

or even by the man you’re marrying

ask if you’re forcing yourself

ask your conscience if you’re being pressured by social media

if the pestering questions by relatives has gotten to you now

if seeing couples made you jealous

&made you believe that the way your life is wasn’t good enough



ask yourself if you wanna marry him just so you can fuck him senseless

salon hair ruined

wedding flowers crumpled beneath salty bodies

you had both waited too long

tried so hard to not bring yourselves to dark alleyways

&do sinful things to one another”
― Malab, The Komorébi, The Breast Mountains Of All Time
