Location: Germany
Hello everyone, I am a 21f who is studying in Germany as an international student.
I come from a conservative family, and i studied my whole life to get out of my country. Unfortunately my parents plan to marry me to a man i do not know.
I have to go back to my country for “vacation” ( this vacation includes me sitting at home doing nothing but cleaning&cooking for them ) at the end of july. So i do not have much time.
I have a small tutoring job which i make like nothing.
I came here with IELTS exam, my german is b1 and i worked a small job before as cashier but finding job is here hard so I was financially dependent on my parents.
Is there any organization that can help me?
I will do any kind of job to get money, i will do everything, but I just do not want my life to get away from me. I did not come all this way to get sold to someone as garbage.
I do not want to get married, I am only 21 and I really can’t take this anymore. Im in verge of a mental breakdown and I can’t keep living like this. I thought ab tricking them and gaining time but it does not work anymore. I cant keep doing this.

Im sure Germany has many institutions that protect people from being trafficked for arranged marriage. Should honestly post in the German sub.
Why do you have to go back on vacation? Can you just choose not to go back to avoid the risk of being forced into a marriage?

There is a hotline for people who are going to be forced into marriage. Call them, maybe they have advice for you
You do not have to do anything. Are you legally in Germany with a student visa? What is your current status? Asylum? Student? Is it temporary or permanent?
I do not know how serious your situation is if it’s very serious why don‘t you go and visit your nearest police station. Since you are over 18 you are considered an adult and they will help you.
Just stay in Germany and find a job, find a place to live maybe a „WG“ (shared apartment with roommates).
Your family can‘t do anything.
