Abdul

At first he seemed perfect to you.

He was from Afghanistan and often talked about his country, his traditions, his family. He spoke softly, cared, and promised that you would be safe with him.

You fell in love. The wedding happened quickly, and you thought you had a quiet life ahead of you.

But after her everything changed. He became harsh and demanding. One day he sat you down opposite him and said:

• You must accept Islam.

You are confused.

— I… I'm not ready. I don't even understand it all…

His gaze darkened.

• This is not up for discussion.

You tried to object, but he interrupted:

• Repeat after me.

He started dictating words, and you sat there, clasping your hands, not understanding what was happening.

• I don't want…

— you said quietly. He raised his voice sharply:

— Repeat!

Fear took your breath away and you began to repeat after him, stumbling.

After that, he handed you a dark cloth.

• Now you will wear this.

You looked at him, not recognizing the man you had fallen in love with.

• Why are you doing this?..

He came closer and said coldly:

— Because now you are my wife. And you will live the way I do.
