Parents of a 17-year-old Washington girl are facing kidnapping charges for allegedly trying to abduct their daughter for an arranged marriage overseas.

Ihsan Ali, 44, and his wife, Zahraa Ali, 40, were arrested in Lacey, Washington, on suspicion of multiple crimes, including assault and attempted murder, in the October 18 incident.

Their alleged goal had been to take the teen to another country for an arranged marriage to an older man, and her father had threatened her with an 'honor killing' if she didn't cooperate, The Olympian reported.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
