Rights of a teenage Muslim girl who is US citizen?

She should apply to be a US citizen, or maybe apply for amnesty or... I forget what the other word is, but her case is that she knows if she goes back to her home country she will be raped and since that's illegal here there should be things we can do to help her.

She has all the rights of any US citizen. If her parents will not back off call your local sexual abuse crisis center. Her parents do not have the right to "sell" her into marriage in this country.

If she is in USA than her parents can't force anything and if she is in her parents home country & she is a US citizen she can call U.S Embassy, they can help her out.

follow our laws and say this everyday JESUS SAVES ME IF I REPENT

The person your referring to technically has the right, but along with that right comes consequences, like the possible shunning or their family. For some people, their freedom of choice is stronger then family bonds, for some blood is thicker than water. If this "friend of a friend of a co-worker" decides to not marry the guy she's "betrothed" to, at least she is in America where she can feel confident in her decision and has people to support her despite the possible tension between her and her family.

No, she has no right right. I have dated 2 Muslim men and have had alot of Muslim friends- some who even got arraigned marriages straight out of high school. The men can choose who they want out of a list of girls the parents pick for them. But when it comes to the women, alot of times, sadly they have no choice. There is no such thing as a love marriage in Islam. It all has to do with the blending of families, properties, and money. Also, a lot of times, if the girl says no it is seen as a disgrace to her family and unfortunately, she could get killed for it. These are called honor killings. Look them up (honor killings in Islamic countries- especially Pakistan).

IF she is a US citizen she can basically get a "divorce" from her parents but then the problem becomes who does she stay with. I know a lot of Muslim and marriage is one negative to a woman since she has no control over whom she marries and NO is an answer unacceptable. If she says no, make her understand that the decision will probably make her say goodbye to her parents.

She has the same rights as any US citizen, which includes the right to say NO to the marriage. But she's going to face a lot of pressure from her family over this and it may come down to picking between her parents and her rights. Not an enviable choice. You might search around in Google for forums dealing with second-generation Muslims - there are a lot of unique issues that they face and SOMEBODY must be talking about it.
