Hussain Sheryan is now 19 years old and says his mother, after being widowed and remarried, rushed to find her a husband “to protect her” in case she died. This way your daughter would have someone to take care of her as posted AFP.

The young woman also declared that the marriage is a test since her partner treats her like a “slave”, chains her and beats her.

At the age of 16, her husband kicked her out of the house and Al Anoud was taken away by a sister, since then devoting herself to learning nursing.
