"How can you love something you don't see"?

I have a girl that is going through so much. Her family comes from Bangledesh, and she is going through lots of trouble at home. She recently approached her parents to discuss her pregnancy. She is currently 6 months pregnant. She hid her pregnancy for 6 months. She said that her family is more of reputation instead of religion. Her family come from a strict Muslim background, so for her to engage in premarital sex, let alone to be pregnant was a disgrace. I spoke the entire weekend with her, as she was going through distress.

So she was stressed out this weekend. She finally told her parents and family this weekend that she was 6 months pregnant. Her family said that she should just give up the baby for adoption and tell the dad that the baby died. They want her to go back to her country, and get married to her cousin.

There is not much I can do for her, is just to be a friend and encourage her to keep being strong and to keep on with her pregnancy.
