The father and brother of a New York woman have been charged in a scheme to force her to return to the U.S. from Mexico for an arranged marriage, prosecutors said.
Upon returning to New York, the woman's father forced her to withdraw from the University of Buffalo, where she was a student, so she could marry a man in Yemen "or he would bury her in the backyard," according to prosecutors.
