You're backpacking through a rural region of Pakistan when you save a young man from a raging river. He's the nephew of the local sheikh, and you're invited as a guest. At the end of the feast, the sheikh brings out a woman wearing a burqa, her face and body completely covered. "This is my stepdaughter Amira; she has chosen you as her husband." Then, you and Amira are led to a tent with a large bed.
