she needs to tell someone. she's old enough to file for divorce and she should make sure when she does she has you and others with her to back hr up. she can also go to the doctor's and figure out what she can do about the baby.

I say...in this case, u dont want to abort because it isnt the kids fault, but if she is broke(cant run away), this may be her only choice. I mean aborting wont get her very far because he could impregnat her again...unless she gets birth control secretly...i dont kno if he is with her every waking second but she can do that. She can tell him she lost the baby...in the toliet, happeneds alot...unless he doesnt believe that type of stuff. She does have to be careful though, she may want to explain to the clinic whats going on...so they dont slip up and say sumthing when he is around. depending on whether or not he is abusive, she can always abort then divorce and depending on his job(unless she signed a prenup) he can still support her.

I would take off to a womans shelter and get an abortion and file for divorce. But if she was married this way there might be more family pressure. Depends on how she was forced. Is this the way her family or culture works?
-
She can try to file for a divorce, if she is sure of a way to support herself without her husband (I'm worried about the possibly economic use of the word 'force' in this case), and she shouldn't have much trouble getting an abortion if she sees the right doctor.

She can, go ask for help, from shelters or family services.

she needs to have a chat with a councellor and make her own decisions and take control of her life.. her parents should be more understanding.. if she doesnt love the man she is with she should end it its her choice.. she deserves to be happy and live a happy life and her husbant and family should not hold back.. pass on a message for me.... BE STRONG AND TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE YOU DESERVE BETTER MY SWEETIE.. :)

if she doesnt like her husband, and doesnt want a baby, she could divorce and give the baby up for adoption or have an abortion. she needs to speak to planned parenthood or someone who can help her out.

Is this in the US? You friend has many resources and public agencies where she can find help.

I don't even understand this? what is she a runaway? How can she be forced to marry and not tell her parents? What state are you in and is this at all legal? Contact the police or a women's shelter for help.

erm it takes 2 people to get pregnant and if her parents forced her to marry why can't she tell them? maybe she needs outside help like a shelter or counseling can you offer her a place to stay? alot of woman stay in unwanted relations because they feel stuck with no place to go. keep being a good friend because she needs you now more then ever... kudos to you
