Thus, in no time, Alia became a married woman. She was escorted into her assumed fateful prison. On that night, Ahmed raped Alia by the name of (matrimony), brutally took her virginity, unconcerned with her pleas and screams. As brutal, ugly and painful as it could be, she became a prisoner in a semi-dark room crying and mourning her fortune, trembling with terror whenever she remembers what happened to her and fearing that it might happen again at any moment. Indeed, it did happen from time to another, while those around her tried to convince her that what had happened to her is a normal matter, every newly wedded husband would do to his wife!
Alia was sobbing as she was talking to her mother: He has defiled my body, I was always told that no one should see it, I don’t know what he did, but this left a scar on my heart and killed my soul, till death!
Alia started to come to terms with the tragic reality of living with a terrorist, an ISIS fighter; a man with sheer lust and ugliness; a murderer, and a fanatical believer who commits horrors to please his prince; the (Shari’a) protector who interprets its rules to what suits his ill desires. My in-laws treated me as if I was an animal, an enslaved maid; they made me clean their toilet five times a day. My dreams had shattered, my childhood was brutally murdered.
