Mo is remarkable.  So many brothers have participated in their sisters’ victimization, but he stood against it.

"She's UNDERAGED!"  so she's too young to have her own say but not too young to be married, have kids, carry a household?  He's  off his rocker

This is a disgusting culture and practice. How do you sell your daughters into poverty, misery, and abuse? This is horrible! The whole family has suffered except for the father.

What a difference- father: lying, selfish, daughter- pimping vs. son-:courageous, empathetic, there for his sisters. An example of a true man.

They were trafficked in 1980.
Nadia is now 55 years old and has been living in Yemen for 41 years. At this point it's all she knows, her personality shaped to fit the culture and lifestyle, her children are grown...I understand why she wouldn't risk it.
I hope in all this tragedy she managed to find peace in her life 😔
I won't forget this family.

I kept wondering while watching this, so why hasn't the father moved back to Yemen?  If it's the best place for his daughters, why isn't it for HIMSELF?

I read the 3 books:  "No mercy" by their mother Miriam, "Stolen" by Zana, and "A promise to Nadia" by Zana.  That was about 20 years ago, still cant forget it.  Such a tragic story

It saddens me that they always say ‘Zana was the strong one’. Nadia has been incredibly strong - in a different way. She clearly loved her children so deeply and could not leave them when they were very little. A mothers love and bond and NEED to protect her children is so strong and so unbreakable, Nadia sacrificed her freedom and her life for her children. She is INCREDIBLY strong.

Those dirty bastards, CTU, are horrible robbing scam artists!! They should be in jail for what they did, I’m disgusted!!!
And for the father, he should also suffer for selling his underage daughters!! This story has enraged me 🤬😡

I was forced into marriage at 14. I escaped across the border in the middle of the night. because I was his property.
I didn’t know what was happening, and I’m a Canadian, x-ese. The man was 47, and beat me, raped me, traumatized me so severely it took witnessing a suicide 25 years later to unlock the repressed memories to a point where PTSD hit and years of denial melted away in psychogenic seizures.
The “family” denied it. They said it was a choice. Little by little, though... you get brainwashed. I thought it was okay, it was normalized by those around me or hushed up, as though it’d never happened. I didn’t KNOW what happened, and I also had no idea why I had these bouts of depression, anxiety, self harm, attempts at suicide.

When you’re a victim of your parents’ ideologies of the cultures they were raised in you do develop a type of Stockholm syndrome. I did everything after my escape (aided by one of the first female doctors in X country) to seek validation from those who hurt and continue to deny saying; even now, yes, I was married. It was my choice. There was no abuse.

A lost child in an adult’s body. It is the parents’ fault. Although we can bear children as females by that age and younger we are not property, but we’re too young to know our worth. We’re groomed. Just as pedophiles do their victims, we are by those sworn to protect us: Our parents.

It took decades and a PhD in psychology to accept that nothing that took place  was my fault. Not the abuse. The rape. The neglect. And it’s also not my parents’ fault.

They are victims of their upbringing. When they leave their homeland they socially integrate aesthetically; not wholly.  They ever worry what their “image”, that omnipresent shadow in their homeland trumps all, not realizing they, too, have a choice. This is what drives “honor killings”. The shame that is put upon a family name.

You aren’t forced to marry just the person in these situations. You marry a family and the clout behind that family name. And the more powerful the name, the less rights you have, and your adolescent mind accepts this as fact.

I was lucky, I never gave up. I escaped into education and music.
But I did give up my family, and only contact them under the conditions I’ve created. Those parents who chose to force me under false pretenses to marry as a child, yet still take zero accountability. Even today.

It’s the same situation as women who are abused, or children who are groomed. Just the perpetrators are the ones who we loved, looked up to and trusted the most to take care of ya.

If all those horrific instances hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t be helping others like myself today. I wouldn’t be who and what I am artistically and on the inside. They shaped me, and they can and do, others as well.

If you ever need think that someone needs help?

Act. Don’t question. It’s better to be wrong than to have been right and not done anything.

There should be a law in England, USA, or any other democratic countries in the world, that if their parents forced their children to marry someone,especially under age, that they can be stripped of their citizenship, or at least be in jail, and be deported.The father should be in jail or deported to Yemen.

Every girl needs a brother like MO-:)

Can you believe how many stories like these go untold.

I really admire the women's mother. Despite her softly spoken, withdrawn demeanor she really has the tenacity and strength of a mother Lioness protecting her young! She was persistent and did everything she could to help her daughters and grandchildren!

The father should be prosecuted for child abduction and child abuse. Just awful.

The father disgusts me beyond words

Mo is a true hero, he tried to get her back.

The Feenys should be thoroughly investigated and made to return every penny! They lied and stole!

He said “she’s underage” yet he knew she’d be raped and forced to be a ‘Cinderella’ aka slave to their husbands and their families who were no doubt grown men. Disturbing

What a lovely mum 🥺 I’m glad she went beyond for her children
