Picture this: you’re 19, studying at a university, and you’ve just discovered a shocking secret – your 16-year-old brother doesn’t want to follow the religious path your devout parents have laid out for him. He’s expected to embark on a two-year religious mission, a tradition he’s dreading. You’re the only one he’s confided in, and you’re torn. Do you help him escape his impending fate, risking your parents’ wrath and possibly your relationship with your younger siblings? Or do you stand by and watch him walk a path he doesn’t want to tread? This is the dilemma faced by one young woman, who’s now asking: is she wrong for wanting to help her brother?
