No matter if her family would kill her in an honor killing or not, the girl definitely THINKS they would. And just based on her fear alone, I can see justification for her being apart from her family. She is 17- so almost an adult.
I would hope that major family counseling would occur before they would even think of sending her back to her family.
No matter if the fear is rational or not, the fear is there. and it needs to be addressed. I would be interested to see if her fears subside if she is moved away from the the pastors.
