Model Took Out Forced Marriage Order<\/h3>\n

\"\"\/

\nA model that was found hanged in her home took out a forced marriage order against her family after she was found out they intended to force her into marriage. <\/p>\n


\nNadia Menaz was discovered at her home in May. The 24-year-old had gone through an Islamic wedding with her boyfriend; however it was not recognised under English law. However, her marriage was not approved by her family. <\/p>\n


\nFriends claimed, in her final days, Ms Menaz had been suffering from depression, with self-inflicted wounds covering her. She eventually took out a court order to stop her mother and father and three siblings forcing her into another marriage. Five months later she was found dead at her home.<\/p>\n


\nThe inquest heard how she met 25-year-old Umar Rasool in 2010 and they began dating – initially keeping their relationship hidden from her parents – until they married in an Islamic ceremony in April 2011.<\/p>\n


\nLast December 5 Mrs Menaz took out a \u2018forced marriage protection order\u2019 at the Family Court in Manchester against her father Sabir Hussain, 60, and her mother Ruksana Kousar, 55, and three of her seven siblings.<\/p>\n


\nAt the hearing Mr Hussain and Mrs Kousar denied attempting to force Mrs Menaz into marriage and initially claimed they were unaware of the forced marriage protection order.<\/p>\n


\nBut under questioning they admitted they were aware of the order – and then claimed her daughter had been murdered by a \u2018third party\u2019.<\/p>\n


\nCoroner Simon Nelson said Mr Hussain had made it clear in a statement to police he had issues over her relationship with Mr Rasool.<\/p>\n


\nIn the weeks before her death Mrs Menaz underwent psychiatric treatment at Royal Oldham Hospital but was later discharged. <\/p>\n


\nOn the day of her death on May 1, she had an argument with Mr Rasool who then went to see his family and go to their local mosque.<\/p>\n


\nShe sent him a text saying she was going to hang herself and when he returned home at around 6.30pm he found his wife\u2019s body.<\/p>\n


\nThe inquest will be concluded at a later date \n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
