I don't believe they're aware of their rights when they're overseas. Once they get here, I think they do become aware of their rights.
In the situation that Chantal just brought up, if, in fact, the woman is here and there's an appeal, and she's been coerced into a marriage, I would recommend that she go and retain another immigration lawyer and make a refugee claim. Being forced into a marriage, and then fearful to withdraw from that marriage because of repercussions from your own family, honour killings, which are not unknown, even in Canada.... I would recommend this girl go and use a list of other lawyers, go and make a refugee claim.
