Summary 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER5SOS, as they're known, are topping the music charts all over the world, and collecting millions of fans to boot. Teenage girls go wild for them, but they're not a boy band. They write their own music and are determined to be original and authentic rockers, not manufactured popstars. The boys have just played to a packed Wembley Stadium in London. And Peter Stefanovic took their Mums along for the ride.FORCED MARRIAGE13-year-old Rania Farrah was supposed to be on the trip of a lifetime, a tour of historic Egypt with her older brother. Instead, the Sydney teenager would be taken captive by her father's family in Syria, and held against her will. She endured horrific beatings and the most dreadful breaches of human rights. She would be married off to her cousin, a man she'd never met, in a land she didn't know. Young Rania was a prisoner in the secretive and sinister world of forced marriage. But refusing to be defeated, she secretly plotted and pulled off a daring escape back to Australia on the day she turned 18. Now, she's forced to live in hiding, fearful her father will track her down and kill her. On 60 Minutes, Rania very bravely speaks to Liz Hayes in the hope of lifting the veil on a hidden crime that affects hundreds of Australian women
