Yeah, me too. She certainly wouldn't have been safe from that in Ethiopia or Kenya (hopefully Germany is pretty good at suppressing that practice). Though in nearly all cases, if that's going to be done, it's done long before the age she was when she fled (usually before or at puberty). Which brings me to the more puzzling lie: why would she have needed to lie about her age, when she was 22? I'm all for bringing her here -- I trust the judgement of the AEI, and figure we can use all the energetic anti-Muslim-extremism voices we can get. But I would like to hear her explanation.

She was trying to hide from her husband (forced marriage). She also changed her name to make it more difficult for him (and her family) to find her.
