Forced To Marry Him by Davinder Kaur
I have exciting news to share with you all. My book Forced To Marry Him: A Lifetime of Tradition and the Will To Break It was finally published on October 31, 2021! This is super exciting for me, and a really big accomplishment. It’s my first book, and I’m hoping my true story will be an eye opener for many as I discuss forced marriage, child marriage, honor abuse, honor killings, tradition and culture.
Please support me by spreading awareness and purchasing this book, and sharing it with all your friends, colleagues, neighbors, and on social media. I would really appreciate it. It is available in e-book and paperback. My hope is that what happened to me does not happen to any other girl, or boy, for that matter. I’m including all the hashtags below that perhaps you can use when sharing the link to my book. All the links are also below. I really appreciate your support very much in advance. Lots of love to you all.

New Website for Forced to Marry Him Book
The new website for “Forced to Marry Him: A Lifetime of Tradition and the Will to Break It” is now live. It is very aptly named the same as the book, hence it is: https://www.forcedtomarryhim.com. Please visit it now as this is where I will make new book related posts such as anything to do with honor based abuse such as forced marriage, child marriage and honor killings.
The site has links to my book on Amazon, references to the great organizations that work to end child marriage and forced marriage such as Unchained At Last, AHA Foundation, Global Hope 365, and Karma Nirvana.
As far as what I will be posting here, I may go back to posting travel related pictures, just not sure yet. However, keep following this blog, but please visit and bookmark forcedtomarryhim.com too. Don’t forget to buy your copy of the paperback, eBook or audiobook!
Audiobook available for “Forced to Marry Him: A Lifetime of Tradition and the Will to Break It”
The audiobook for “Forced to Marry Him: A Lifetime of Tradition and the Will to Break It” is now available on Amazon. It was released on April 14th, 2022 and I haven’t even had the time to blog about it after announcing back in March that it was in production.
It deserves to be listened to. If you don’t have the time to pick up a book and read it, you will surely have the time to listen to it while you are driving or traveling on a plane. It’s just so easy to listen to it in an audiobook format and the book can be listened to in 4 hours and 15 minutes. The narrator Gill Mills did an excellent job. She did justice to my story since she is British, and as you may know I was born and raised in the UK and that’s where my story began. Gill also did great with the Punjabi words.
My story can be related to by hundreds of thousands of people all over the world. Unfortunately, there are so many girls who have been in a forced marriage, have experienced domestic violence, and been attacked violently. There are many girls who have experienced a denial of their right to education, and who have been thrown into basic slavery while growing up. It is for these survivors of the aforementioned abuse that I have written my story, to give hope that strength of will can triumph over fear; that there is hope even after a terrible start to life that no girl should ever have to experience. I hope you will listen to the audiobook or read the book in its entirety.
The book is also available in paperback and eBook as well as audiobook format.
Retail Sample of Audiobook “Forced to Marry Him: A Lifetime of Tradition and the Will to Break It”
I’m so excited to announce that my book is going to be made into an audiobook. In fact, it is currently in production and my narrator will be Gill Mills from the UK. I thought it was essential to have someone with a British accent to tell my story. After all, my story began in the UK where I was born and raised. I lived there for 22 years before I moved to the USA.
Currently, it’s available on Amazon and other retailers in eBook and paperback formats at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09MCG6TGG
I just uploaded the video of the retail sample of the audiobook. Here it is.

My New Book – Forced to Marry Him
I am so excited! I have finally got my memoir published and this is a huge achievement for me. It took me almost two years! The frustrating thing is that I almost finished writing the book after just four months, however, that’s when I started to get into public speaking and then my focus shifted. It took a while to get back to my book. I then decided that I needed to have it edited professionally, and even though it’s self-published, I can’t claim that I know how to do everything – we all need some help from professionals.
Hopefully, now more awareness can be spread about forced marriage and child marriage. Everyone needs to understand that education first, then marriage is the way it should happen ideally, and not the other way around. Forcing someone to marry against their will is a human rights violation, and should not be tolerated.
The book just got published yesterday October 31st – a Halloween treat to myself! It’s available on Amazon, as well as a whole range of other places online such as Barnes and Noble, GoodReads, Kobo, BorrowBox, Scribd, Vilio, and Tolino. Here is the link to purchase the e-book from Amazon in the USA. The good news is that you can purchase it from Amazon if you live in the UK, Canada, India and a whole range of other countries too!
I hope you will all check out my book, purchase it and possibly write a review if you feel inclined. Please spread the word. I would really appreciate it.
