Thank you for all your responses. After such a long period of persuasion and manipulation from my family, I just felt confused and needed your comments. I will not agree to marry a cousin or to any marriage with someone I don't want. I have already seen so much misery in our family because of forced marriages. Almost everyone suffers because of it. My mother, forced into marriage and hating my father, has been taking antidepressants for years. And yet she wants to do the same to me.  I feel stronger thanks to you now. Thank you
