What did her mother do? The sensible woman told her daughter that was fine and during the Easter holiday she would take her to Turkey to meet the family.
They went and nothing more was heard of the boy or the engagement. The girl in question returned to school and her studies to get to University.

Re: 16yo girl to live in Turkey with her 21yo lover
I´m with cranberry, take her passport away from her. Is she of legal age to make her own decision about this? I guess her parents could have her made a ward of court if they were worried about her, after all she is still a child and a vulnerable one too by the sounds of it. I´m sure the man´s Turkish family are pleased, it means they will have a good excuse to come to UK, but like others I would think that is the main reason for the marriage.

I know of a woman who fell for a Turkish waiter a few years ago. She left her husband and took her daughter with her to live with him. The little girl didn't like it there and came back to live with her Dad.The woman got a divorce and with the money she got for that bought
a café with the waiter who she had now married. The marriage lasted
about 2 years as the guy started hitting her and changed personality during
those years. In the end she decided to come back to England but when she tried to get her money back from the café she found that it had all been put in his name and families name so couldn't get any of it back.
She came back penniless. The lad when she met him was 19 and she was 36.
I fear for this young girl you are talking about. She cannot speak their language so she is going to have to learn it quickly as she could be exported anywhere without her permission. Women still don't have a lot of rights in Turkey so she is not going to be able to go to the Police and complain.
She cant go without a passport as mentioned and I would personally if her Mum inform the passport office not to issue her with one until she is 18 then she can do what she wants. Hopefully by that time the crush will have wained. She also needs to look at films made about white slave trade of young girls never seen again and taken from Europe to North Africa.

She already has a passport, BE, cos she met him last year when on a visit to the country. They were sleeping together straightaway!! Slut! The parents were aware of that.The story has attracted over a thousand comments and I am sure most of them side with the grandparents of the child, and who want nothing to do with it.

If they do get married and they do have children, in a few years time we will no doubt be hearing of yet another child kidnap back to Turkey and the child be hidden away from his/her mother and yet another international court battle in the offing.

It is such a shame I the same as everyone else think this is going to go badly wrong.If the girl was determined to stay in Turkey with him and didn't want to listen to reason I don't suppose there was anyway that her parents would have been able to get her onto the plane home, without her kicking and screaming.
It is so sad that young girls fall for the charm of foreign waiters when they are on holiday.

What worries me is they say 'you only live once'. A 16yo, alone in a foreign country, is safe??!!! Anything could happen, and by that I mean, she could meet an early untimely death. If I were them I would have a serious rethink of this.|
