As if losing a breast to cancer was not traumatic enough, Algerian mother-of-three Linda was then spurned by her husband for being "mutilated" and a "half-woman".

Linda is one of hundreds of Algerian women to have been abandoned by their husbands or fiances after being diagnosed with breast cancer, a charity says.
Thousands of women are found to suffer from the disease every year in Algeria, leaving many with no option but to surgically remove a part of their body deeply associated with their feminity.

The sophistication of Islam.

If that’s all he cared about, he didn’t care about her.
Good riddance.
This is so sad. These poor women.
The only thing worse is FReepers turning this tragic situation into a bash American women situation. Not applicable, guys.
Christianity/ Catholicism elevates the status of women as child-bearers, and sees men as the protectors encircling the family unit. This is a lovely vision. Shun the women if they are not ‘perfect,’ bag them up, multiple wives - this is a much lower vision.
After my head injury a while back I guess I was only half a man for about 3 years. The nervous system takes a long time to heal. Miraculously I healed a lot longer than the two years timeframe the doctors gave me. That two-year window for any chance of recovery is BS. Anyway the last thing I needed was someone kicking me when I was down. This is disgusting. Islam is disgusting.
Sometimes people here just want to "score a point" and ignore basic humanity.
**With hindsight, she said, cancer actually freed her of a man who beat her and stole her salary.**
So there is a happy ending.
