I Accept I Accept I Accept

Sanaa Iftikhar | Pakistan | 2007 | 6 mins

Synopsis

In Pakistan, tradition allows a woman to enter into marriage with a man she hardly knows by uttering “I accept” three times, binding her to him and a life she did not necessarily choose.

I Accept I Accept I Accept was an official selection of the 2011 WVN Online Film Festival.
