An Arranged marrage, rape, and abuse

This Post is going to be very difficult for me to write because I find it hard to put into words how this news from my girl made me feel, I have also added this e-mail from Noni, because this e-mail would be the last one I received before she became sick. And will also help to back-up what my Princess was saying about this man that had married her.

Noni had also managed to contact her host parents with this news as well, ( Host parents are people that foreign students stay with for a few weeks while they get use to the New Zealand way of life ) and when she told them the news they were very very upset, they rang me, and asked me if I knew what had happened to Noni, I said I did, and it was her host parents that suggested that I start to tape any conversations I had with Noni that could be used to help my Princess.

Noni told me that this man that had married her had raped her, I am not sure how many times, but Noni was very very upset. She told me how she Hated this man.

Now I asked Noni if she could tell someone close to her, like her brother, who I believed was training to become a police officer, I also asked my girl if she could go to the Police direct and talk to them about what this coward of a man had done to her, Noni`s answer to me was swift, there was no hesitation in her voice, and I can remember the words today as clear as if it was just this morning, her reply was,

Ian, You have to understand that in Malaysia a husband can not be charged for raping his wife

Unquote,

This took me back quite a bit, because here in good old New Zealand if a husband forces his wife to have sex against her will and the woman complains, then the man can be charged with rape !


I told my Princess that I would call her soon, but over the next few nights I got the phone numbers of Police stations in the KL area, and started ringing them, in a desperate attempt to find and contact Nonis brother Aidi B Ali to let him know about his sister, and hopefully to get some help.

Well it was impossible, they kept saying I am tourist, need tourist police. Sadly I gave up,

However it was going to be a month before I would be able to contact my Princess, this time the news she gave me could be proved............my story continues...............
