A woman who was forced into marriage at the age of 12 has bravely come forward to reveal the horrific abuse she endured for years. Speaking out for the first time, she described being treated like "property" by her husband and his family, with no control over her own life.
A Childhood Stolen
From the moment she was married off as a child, her life became a nightmare. "I had no say in anything—not my education, not my future, not even my own body," she recounted. The abuse was both physical and emotional, leaving deep scars that took years to heal.
Breaking Free
After enduring unimaginable suffering, she finally found the strength to escape. With the help of a support group, she rebuilt her life and is now advocating for stricter laws to protect other young girls from similar fates.
The Fight Against Forced Marriage
Her story highlights the urgent need for stronger legal protections in the UK. Despite existing laws, many young girls—particularly from vulnerable communities—continue to be forced into marriages against their will.
"No child should ever go through this," she said. "We need to speak up and demand change."
