This is not part of Australian Culture:
A 14-YEAR-OLD girl has been saved from an arranged marriage after she and her uncle were stopped from boarding a flight to Lebanon, it's been reported.
THE teenager was intercepted at Sydney Airport on Friday after a joint investigation response team learned she was being taken overseas to wed, News Corp Australia reports.
She and her uncle were released after hours of questioning but not allowed to leave the country, a spokeswoman for Immigration and Border Protection Minister Scott Morrison said.
"The government can confirm that an adult male and a female minor were prevented from boarding a flight at Sydney International Airport," she said.
