Robinson initially believed her relationship with Memon would lead to marriage. According to Deccan Herald, she traveled halfway across the world only to find the teenage suitor and his family unwilling to meet her.

When appeals from authorities and social workers fell on deaf ears, she moved to a shelter run by the Chhipa charity before being admitted to a psychiatric ward at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre.
