Discarded: Surjit Athwal
Surjit Athwal was 16 years old when she was forced to marry a man 10 years her senior. It was outside of London, England but life for the young wife was isolating, tense and abusive. As Surjit tried to gain her independence and flee her strict Sikh household, the control over her became worse and worse; until a deadly plan was established followed by one chilling statement, “We have to get rid of her.”
