Problem
A 14-year-old girl is diagnosed with a terminal illness. She needs surgery to save her life, but that surgery will leave a scar. Her parents explain that the scar would make her undesirable for marriage in their culture and marriage is of grand significance. She does not want to die over a scar, but trusts her parents' cultural decision. They let the girl die.
