It could be for her safety that she’s keeping you a secret. There have been so called “honor killings” of women whose dads or brothers suspected that she had dated someone and had sex out of wedlock.
Even in my western and free country of The Netherlands.
Do you trust your girlfriend? Then let her decide when it’s the right time to tell her family about her, her very life might just depend on it!

What the fuck? People kill their adult child for having sex?

Yes, and for generally just disobeying men.

Got a thread deleted for bringing this up, it’s islamophobic and racist to bring up the medieval practices.

Sadly yes, it’s got its own category of type of killing too:

And it’s usually the woman that suffers, or gets killed.
