Ah well, now I understand, u r actually talking about a particular situation. First off a woman is not supposed to be married against her will or else the marriage is invalid. i mean for a marriage contract to be valid, there must be a mahr, wali, and the woman's approval. Thus, this Pakistani girl if she is not accepting the marriage, and Allah Knows best, her marriage is not valid. I know many parents may fall into this problem of forcing their children either male or female to marry someone in particular and reject the marriage of another based on many reason other than religious.
In such cases, she may resort to an older member of the family who is respected and well listened to, or a religious scholar who may talk to her parents that what they are doing is haram.
And may Allah Guide Muslims in order to pursue and follow what Allah Commands not themselves.
