What do we know about Noura Hussein?
The 19-year-old Sudanese woman is currently on death row in Omdurman, Sudan, for killing a man in self-defense. She was convicted of murdering her husband, who raped her on their honeymoon.
When she was 16, Nouras family attempted to force her to marry a man, despite the fact that Islam prohibits marriage without consent. Refusing the marriage, she ran 155 miles away from her family home to a town called Sennar. She lived with her aunt for three years, determined to complete her high school education and with her eyes on further studies. In 2017, she received word that the wedding plans had been cancelled and that she was safe to return home.
It was a cruel trick. On her return, Noura found the wedding ceremony underway and was given away to the same groom she had rejected three years earlier.
Defiant, Noura refused to consummate the wedding for a number of days. Her husband became increasingly aggressive, and before the week was over, forced himself onto his teenage wife. With the help of his two brothers and a cousin who held her down, her husband raped her.
When he returned the next day to attempt to rape her again, Noura escaped to the kitchen and grabbed a knife. In the altercation that followed, the man sustained fatal knife wounds. Noura went to her family; they disowned her and turned her over to the police. She was held in Omdurman jail until April 29, 2018, when she was found guilty of premeditated murder. On May 10, the mans family was offered a choice: accept monetary compensation for the injury caused, or the death penalty. The family chose to sentence Noura to death. Nouras legal team has until May 25 to submit an appeal.

This should be FORCE READ to EVERY Socialist chick.
Too bad it won’t make a bit of difference to them and their complaints of harassment and how UNFAIR and AWFUL life is in America.
*Rolleyes*
Islam is a religion of peace.....GW Bush
Mad Mo married his favorite wife when she was six, he waited until she was nine to rape her.
Perfect man in Islam.
Where are the feminists?
This is only called rape in the Western world. The Islamic World demands that she submit to her husband and she really has little say in who she marries. She will be executed and the Lefty apologists of Islam will be silent.
*slam is incompatible with civilization.
Islam comes from a world of savages. There is nothing redeemable about them.
The Leftist response?
let’s import more Sudanese into the USA. They are ALL victims!
Hmmm. No outcry from the bra burners? Wus Up?
What a horrible mess. Treachery, lying and betrayal by her own family, forced marriage in spite of rejection and refusals, being held down by her ‘husbands brothers’!
Stupid, barbaric sharia laws.
She was still young, and probably missed her family, so she succumbed to sentiment.
Yes this a real war on women perpetrated in many parts of the world.
Feminist types in the western world, have no clue, or take for granted, how well they are treated compared to other places.
When you see the treatment and status of women in Latin America, the middle East, the far East, etc. They could find cases of a real war on women.
It’s so absurd to call issues of birth control access, whether covered in health insurance, etc as a war on women.
The sublime beauty of Islam is on display for the world to see.
Sh*tholes do what Sh*tholes do.
The only reason to care is because Democrats and Republicans want to move them onto my porch.
Two thoughts: with family like that... how sick is it to watch your sister get raped and to help.?
Totally backwards society. He got what was coming to him in my opinion.
We were told by the multiculturalists gurus that all cultures are equal!
But...but...women need their “free” contraception! /s
An important piece is left out in the article: the Islamic practice of mahr, where the groom has to fork over money to get the bride. In theory, the money is the property of the bride. In practice, the bride's family often holds onto it. If the marriage doesn't happen, the mahr needs to be refunded.
A perfect example of a “ catch 22 “ situation.
die for resisting
Permit yourself to be raped and then be executed because you were raped
And we gripe about American justice! Kind of puts things in perspective...
