An American woman traveled to Pakistan to marry her teenage boyfriend whom she met online, but her wedding plans took a strange turn when the child’s family rejected the relationship.
Onijah Andrew Robinson, 33, who has two children, flew from New York to Karachi to meet Nidal Ahmed Memon, 19. Mr. Memon’s family did not approve the marriage, leaving Mrs. Robinson stranded in Pakistan with an overdue visa, The New York Post reported.
When refusing to leave, Mrs. Robinson camped outside Memon’s Karachi house, which found closed and abandoned.
The story came to light when the Pakistani activist and Youtuber Zaffar Abbas highlighted the difficult situation of Mrs. Robinson on social networks, which led the governor of Sindh Kamran Khan Tessori to extend his support, help with his expired visa and organize A ticket back to the United States.
Despite this assistance, Mrs. Robinson refused to leave and began to make a series of increasingly strange demands. She celebrated press conferences, offering updates about her situation and comments about Pakistan.
He also demanded $ 3,000 per week of Mr. Memon and demanded Pakistani citizenship, according to a report by Times of India. In another interview, he claimed to be married to Mr. Memon and declared that they planned to move to Dubai soon and start a family.
Its demands increased, with Mrs. Robinson requesting $ 100,000, including $ 20,000 in cash, from the Pakistani government that week. When asked about the purpose of money, she said: “It is against my religion to tell them my affairs.” His statements that change rapidly raised concerns.
Mrs. Robinson’s son, Jeremiah Andrew Robinson, said her mother had a bipolar disorder and was mentally ill. He also said that his brother also tried to convince her to return to the United States, but his efforts were in vain.
After her son’s claims, Mrs. Robinson was admitted to the Department of Psychiatry at Karachi’s Jinnah Post Graduate Hospital for a mental health evaluation. Finally he returns to the United States after spending months in Pakistan, according to Independent.
