Zahraa Subhi Mohsin Ali has been charged with attempted murder, kidnapping and assault.
The 17-year-old ran away from home after her parents tried to send her to Iraq.
When she was found at Timberline High School in Washington, the father, Ihsan Ali, was seen beating his daughter while classmates tried to save her.
The 16-year-old's boyfriend eventually managed to free her, while the father tried to strangle her. The father was immediately arrested and the mother was later arrested while trying to flee to Canada.
"Her father had recently threatened her with honor killing for refusing an arranged marriage to an older man in another country," police said.
According to her fiancé's father, Victor Barnes, who recently spoke to the Daily Mail, the mother tried to flee to Canada after hearing prosecutors say they believed she was also a threat to his daughter.
"They wanted to isolate him and during that time, he would threaten to kill her and starve her and just do crazy things," Barnes said.
