I can't believe the Democrat party supports these peoples rights to continue this and refuses to condemn selling of underage girls into marriage. Liberal judges even tried to implement Sharia Law in a US court as consideration! Not in a case this bad, but it opens the door to this barbaric ideology and gets them more radical votes!
Monica Caroline In the UK, another version of enslavement/slavery. 2019 poverty trap for girls and women that's enforced by those kidnapping/impregnating innocent young girls/women by deceit.
@@christynorman7288 THIS PIG LIVED IN BHAM LONG ENOUGH FOR HIS CHILDREN TO GROW UP. HE WAS PART OF THE BRITISH CULTURE WHEN IT SUITED HIM SO SAYING HE GREW UP WITH DIFF BELIEFS IS NO EXCUSE !
I read the 3 books: "No mercy" by their mother Miriam, "Stolen" by Zana, and "A promise to Nadia" by Zana. That was about 20 years ago, still cant forget it. Such a tragic story
thanks for letting know about the mothers story. halfway through 'a promise to nadia' now, and ordering 'stolen'... as well as 'Without Mercy' by Miriam Ali-Kamouhi
They were trafficked in 1980. Nadia is now 55 years old and has been living in Yemen for 41 years. At this point it's all she knows, her personality shaped to fit the culture and lifestyle, her children are grown...I understand why she wouldn't risk it. I hope in all this tragedy she managed to find peace in her life 😔 I won't forget this family.
This is a disgusting culture and practice. How do you sell your daughters into poverty, misery, and abuse? This is horrible! The whole family has suffered except for the father.
St Luna Evan our brother Joseph is sold some seasons & remember only with the blood of the lamb are these truths worthy and redeemable making sense for sovereignty
That's why we need to stop letting all these immigrants in. I used to feel the opposite, but these people are destroying Western countries. It's a culture clash and it's ok to recognize that. Let them stay in their culture.
I kept wondering while watching this, so why hasn't the father moved back to Yemen? If it's the best place for his daughters, why isn't it for HIMSELF?
guleet, I’d rather not argue about this, but I stand by my thought. I don’t understand a parent who banishes two of his children to another country, possibly to never see them again, even worse without consulting their mother. Why not move the entire family, then? Or, if he must arrange the girls’ marriages (trying to respect culture) why not find them husbands nearby? This was done in such a secretive, final way that to me it seems heartless and abhorrent.
guleet, your last statement makes it clear we will never agree. What you are saying is 1) racist and 2) chauvinist. Apparently you think men have the right to control everyone in their family. Mothers don’t have the right to know where their children are, or to be present at the birth of their grandchildren? Fathers have the right to choose who their children will be friends with and sell them to strangers in other countries? Then, to top it off, while I’ve tried to be polite and somewhat understanding of the differences in cultures, you are denigrating my intelligence by questioning whether I have watched the documentary. Of course I have. I have also read articles about this and seen the girls’ pictures in Yemen. Both look miserable, but Nadia in particular looks absolutely distraught and hopeless. Maybe you would do this to your children, but my husband and I work hard, together, for our children to have safe, meaningful, HAPPY lives.
It saddens me that they always say ‘Zana was the strong one’. Nadia has been incredibly strong - in a different way. She clearly loved her children so deeply and could not leave them when they were very little. A mothers love and bond and NEED to protect her children is so strong and so unbreakable, Nadia sacrificed her freedom and her life for her children. She is INCREDIBLY strong.
Who is the winer Nadia or Zeina! Nadia has family ,husband, hause! Zeina has no family, no husband, no house and no money! Who is the ultimate loser in this case!
@@checkmat2444 What are you talking about? Zeina has a family of her own in England, the doc showed that. It is a family that she *chose* and she lives with modern plumbing, healthcare, etc,. instead of in slavery in 13th century conditions. You're mad.
I was forced into marriage at 14. I escaped across the border in the middle of the night. because I was his property. I didn’t know what was happening, and I’m a Canadian, x-ese. The man was 47, and beat me, raped me, traumatized me so severely it took witnessing a suicide 25 years later to unlock the repressed memories to a point where PTSD hit and years of denial melted away in psychogenic seizures. The “family” denied it. They said it was a choice. Little by little, though... you get brainwashed. I thought it was okay, it was normalized by those around me or hushed up, as though it’d never happened. I didn’t KNOW what happened, and I also had no idea why I had these bouts of depression, anxiety, self harm, attempts at suicide. When you’re a victim of your parents’ ideologies of the cultures they were raised in you do develop a type of Stockholm syndrome. I did everything after my escape (aided by one of the first female doctors in X country) to seek validation from those who hurt and continue to deny saying; even now, yes, I was married. It was my choice. There was no abuse. A lost child in an adult’s body. It is the parents’ fault. Although we can bear children as females by that age and younger we are not property, but we’re too young to know our worth. We’re groomed. Just as pedophiles do their victims, we are by those sworn to protect us: Our parents. It took decades and a PhD in psychology to accept that nothing that took place was my fault. Not the abuse. The rape. The neglect. And it’s also not my parents’ fault. They are victims of their upbringing. When they leave their homeland they socially integrate aesthetically; not wholly. They ever worry what their “image”, that omnipresent shadow in their homeland trumps all, not realizing they, too, have a choice. This is what drives “honor killings”. The shame that is put upon a family name. You aren’t forced to marry just the person in these situations. You marry a family and the clout behind that family name. And the more powerful the name, the less rights you have, and your adolescent mind accepts this as fact. I was lucky, I never gave up. I escaped into education and music. But I did give up my family, and only contact them under the conditions I’ve created. Those parents who chose to force me under false pretenses to marry as a child, yet still take zero accountability. Even today. It’s the same situation as women who are abused, or children who are groomed. Just the perpetrators are the ones who we loved, looked up to and trusted the most to take care of ya. If all those horrific instances hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t be helping others like myself today. I wouldn’t be who and what I am artistically and on the inside. They shaped me, and they can and do, others as well. If you ever need think that someone needs help? Act. Don’t question. It’s better to be wrong than to have been right and not done anything.
There should be a law in England, USA, or any other democratic countries in the world, that if their parents forced their children to marry someone,especially under age, that they can be stripped of their citizenship, or at least be in jail, and be deported.The father should be in jail or deported to Yemen.
Leticia Albitos More than half the Worlds male population would be in jail for that and the families who participate and the system generally and bogus religions and neighbours. NAnd who ever has micro chipped some people😷 who????
The "father" is garbage. Not even human garbage. He's a pos in a meat suit that should be slowly broken down into the swill water he obviously crawled from.
thats bcoz those are the perfect rules of the hypocritical society .Example you are too young to work but you can work if your parents agree REALLY?? that gives all power to parents and takes it away from children in the name of protecting the children Or school is mandatory unless your parents offer a reasom Kids are treated like objects who belong to the parents So a kid isnt old enough to take the decision wether he can work or not but if his parents sent him to work he s then old enough to do the task
I’m so glad Mo is on his mother and sisters’ side because I have read and watched some stories where the brother is sometimes involved with their abduction of their own sisters even though the parents are separated, or with a western parent. The Mom is quite naive but thank God she woke up ! She did her best! Bless this family
Those dirty bastards, CTU, are horrible robbing scam artists!! They should be in jail for what they did, I’m disgusted!!! And for the father, he should also suffer for selling his underage daughters!! This story has enraged me 🤬😡
Yeah. Dude literally justify his actions by saying they were kids there for he gets to marry them off and decide for them. Like yeah ❌💩, they're kids, wtf were u thinking?
I really admire the women's mother. Despite her softly spoken, withdrawn demeanor she really has the tenacity and strength of a mother Lioness protecting her young! She was persistent and did everything she could to help her daughters and grandchildren!
right...the son yes? i thought the EXACT same think and felt for him .the mom.. I hate such "rolemodels" bcoz besides the pitty i feel for her and even if i disregard her simplemindedness she still crossed the line of the weak victim w/o any fault Her acts brought sorrow to ppl and i dont see her OWNING THAT.If i had her in front of me and enumerate her mistakes this softly spoken eyes full of tears lady would snap amd turn into a monster to defend her behavior rather than accept her mistakes n change she might even be a covert passive narcisist ,not full blown maybe but she seems she has some trsits
Immigrants like the father should undergo a cultural education before being allowed to stay in a Western country. These people just do not respect the Western Culture
That's right people forget that you're brothers and sisters come into this world with you . Not ur mom or dad. That's why I'm so lucky to have two big brothers and one older sister.
I read Zana's book in my early twenties and I still can't forget her words 20 years later. Absolutely harrowing and disgusting that our own embassy wouldn't do their duty and retrieve 2 *underage* British citizens who had been kidnapped and forced into slavery.
I bought the book second-hand here in Bulgaria. As a man who strongly believes in equality Zana's story caused many emotions between empathy, disgust and red-blooded anger. I would have liked to have met the father when I was young & fit. The British government could have done so much more.
The so-called father himself declared that he could never have done such a thing because the girls were underage. It's scary how people can be so delusional and wrong, yet so self-righteous.
I am beyond baffled about the Feeney couple. They honestly took advantage of the situation for their financial benefits. They need to be in prison for fraud. Disgusting. What a disgrace for stating that help people
Parents are supposed to protect their children, not sacrifice them for a crooked interpretation of their personal beliefs. I repect other cultures, but I believe a child's right is universal. I feel sorry for the two ladies. I wish they will be healed in due time.
I wouldn't even go as far as to say, the father did it for his cultural beliefs. The POS did it for money. And he's a slimy, lying piece of trash like so many of the men.
poor nadia..brainwashed..life ended..Her father should be in prison and them private investigators..need to pay back that money and also be locked up..lifes are ruined.
i think shes just scared... she wanted to get out too and had her sister promised to get her out. she stayed for her kids and to help raise her sisters kid.... and now its been so long. she cannot leave her children.
What a mother! She flew there, her first time out of her city let alone a plane, contacted everyone possible! This is a mother! Doing all she can still to help her daughters!
He said “she’s underage” yet he knew she’d be raped and forced to be a ‘Cinderella’ aka slave to their husbands and their families who were no doubt grown men. Disturbing
It’s funny how he made sure they didn’t go out with black boys but it was okay to ship them thousands of miles away and marry them off to strange men whilst they’re still underaged. This father is an idiot. The UK should kick people like him out.
He was definitely a incestual kiddy fiddler,sad for such attractive young girls,to many of these people come over here and don’t realise that it’s a different world with different laws,a lot of them don’t get out and mingle with the local population and get a grasp on the law’s of the land?!.
This is outrageous. Between the creepy father selling the 2 girls and that couple robbing them of all their money, I hope there is karma, and they get what is coming to them. Horrible people.
They aren't a "military" group. They are despised among the REAL Special Forces Operation community here in Fayetteville. The husband was kicked out of the Army for stealing funds/equipment. And this isn't the first operation they bungled. They were arrested in both Iceland and Iraq. Some quick Google work is all you need to do.
My heart goes out to all the women who are currently being imprisoned by their captors aka husbands. It's also enraging that the mom had to get hit by a truck to get money so she could try and get her daughter's back. They are all warriors and my heart is with them all.
U mean like in the situation above right? Not saying all husbands are captors right? But yeah damn I should start some kind of movement to raise awareness and go against this kind of thing. No such culture practices where women are enslaved, r*ped, sold and have their children used against them as bargaining chip, should be allowed to remain, on the bases of understanding different cultures or not being a prude. No one will justify a culture where children are sacrifice, as not to be insensitive, so why not do the same for women in these situations
I'm an Arab, and this makes me sick to my stomach. For anyone who thinks this is okay to us, it is definitely not!! But sadly some people still think in this way, it's quite rare but it still exists. My prayers go out to all of the women in the world who are still being treated this way. I feel lucky now that i was born into a good family. Appreciate your life!
Most fathers send their daughters to University and have a degree and get a career that they want. In short they want to be successful and the best in their lives . While others send their daughters back to stone age to marry a stranger half or thrice their daughter's age. What a stupid mentality! Sick people!
How cruel to bring your daughter up in the UK - expecting to lead a normal British lifestyle. Then send them off to another country to be a slave to some man they've never met. Raped every night I should imagine. Why bother having a daughter? Money?!!!?? Is this really the best life for your daughter? It's cruelty beyond words.
That kind of marrying off occurs across all over the world. Remember; it's not only young girls being married off against their will its young men too. Mormons marry off their kids at a young age too !
This is exactly why I don't buy the culture/tradition/religion excuses, that just groups loads of people into the same boat and then used as defense for why we are wrong for saying it's wrong. It's not everyone, the families that do this and treat their children should be in jail or at least CPS should've been taking the kids away regardless of ethnicity/background/politics/religion/whatever else. This is pretty much human trafficking with a heavy dose of brainwashing/grooming. Mentally sick people who need therapy, education, and probably shouldn't even have been allowed to have kids if this is what they were going to be raised as, pretty much cattle for sale bs. Should be very illegal. Should be places for these poor girls and boys to run to easily where they can ACTUALLY be prrotected.
I read her book! It happened to my school friend. These are strong women..I think their mum is excellent, what a real mum she is..never gave up on her daughters. If they are here now..then she needs to write another book, the rip off, and the way they dealt with it. I read it long ago and remember it. I hope my school friend made it too.
Gives a whole new meaning to forced marriage. It wasn't what was best for his daughters, it was what was best for him. They were a source to his greed.
This is one of the reasons I am grateful for being born and raised in a country that women are viewed with respect. I hope people all over the world get a proper education specially these people in Arab nations where women are subjected with lower or no semblance of dignity at all.
Amanda Wright Ysee that, right there, what you just said, THAT is part of the problem. Why is it that when there's a story about the bad behaviour of non-white people someone always pipes up and brings race and racism into it when it's not about race or racism. When they do its well white people do it too or well look what white people did in the past. This is about black people nothing to do with the white race. It's disgusting regardless of race, colour, religion, nationality it's about very bad people. You didn't even condemn it it's like white people did bad things and stuff and did slavery and stuff and killed people and stuff so therefore this is OK. Give me a break. It's rape, rape of children, it's paedophilia, it's wrong - black, brown, white or yellow it is WRONG!
@@amandakesterson224 fuckin lier! We ended slavery! Your the racist, western countries do not condone this, Christians don't condone this, stop lieing and attacking whites when it's you and your people that still support this savagery...its not legal here. Fkn lier
@@maryanndeweerd2570 there is a documentary about the catholic church in philipines who allow consent age for girls as 12, ban contraceptives and abortions. Ur lucky if born a Christian in America and uk or Europe.. But other places other situations
Nadia's brother must be emotionally exhausted from all this. Wouldn't be surprised if he has depression as a chronic condition as a result of all this.
I kept hoping this would come around right. Sigh. After having many children and possibly feeling bonded to her husband, I can see why she might want to stay. And at the heart of it; she was brainwashed into accepting her Yemen life and lulled by hard work, frequent pregnancies, and fatigue.
The father talked about how great Yemen is yet he continues to live in the UK. The village they filmed in Yemen in this vid reminded me of vids I'd watch in church reenacting Bible stories. Life in that village doesn't look like it's changed much in 2000 years.
This family should go to court & reimbursed from the rip-off fake rescue man & woman who obviously stole over 100,000 pounds from. This story was an amazing testimony to the moral strength & character of these women & brother!!! Amazing!!!
They signed no contract, so basically its like they handed over their money to someone with no promise or guarantee of anything back. They have no more legal standing than if i were to give your £180,000 tomorrow and then ask for it back. So sad.
no.not really Oral agreements are still valid. the reason they cant get it back is bcoz they were promised 80%sucess not 100% PLUS the co now moved to Philipines so if there was enough will the police could investigate where did they spend the money (but in that case they d argue like they did that they cant betray their ground (yemeni)ppl She could destroy them with 1/bad publicity and 2/if she had recordings of them promising that ground operation Where they d be saying that now its possible and after these last money we will get them out
+Doug . ,rather codependency (stocholm is a bit diferent)the girl was groomed by the narcisistic father long before being sold Also was ababdoned twice n let down by sister and mom,why trust again when the option given was a shity one.? After 16yrs they ask her to flee w/o the children? ha!! no wonder the dad as the calculated narcisist he is,agreed , meanwhile they thought they ll trick him by promising him they ll acept him back in the family
I remember buying and reading her book when it first came out. I just couldnt believe how terrible there lives have been and how horrible her father is. I see nothing changed at all her father still thinks he did the right thing. What a horrible story
CTU stole this mother's money $185,000 in English pounds! What monsters! On top of the Father being a slime, the husbands who thought to buy wives! OMG All these people need to go to jail!
In this culture it’s not considered buying a wife, it’s more like a dowry. So crazy that several cultures still practice dowries! Middle Eastern, Asian, African, and I’m sure some I’m not aware of.
this shit is *CRAZY* and wrong and heartbreaking. Not just for the two girls in the story, but all the other poor girls and women going through the same living hell. Shame on the British government for not stepping in to help and offer more assistance, these are *human lives* and are worth more help and deserve their freedom.
You think this is bad. You should watch honor killings in the UK. One girl i can think of warned the police and asked for help over and over. They called her a liar. Now its to late. She was killed by exactly who she said would do it.

Honestly it's people like this that give Arabs a bad name. I grew up in an Arab household with my older brother and younger sister and our father was the kindest father anyone could dream of having. He grew up in the middle east where my aunts had been married to family friends (they consented to the marriages) and he never dreamed of doing anything like that to any of us. We'd frequently discuss it and my father always expressed disgust at how women were treated culturally; he always pushed for us to have our freedom and become independent although he did like us to stay close to home. Like most parents he wasn't ready for us to leave the nest. All our mutual family friends treated their daughters the same, it always saddened me when people would be surprised that our father was so westernized. It was like they expected him to be some horrible strict monster, like people like this are the norm.
Deplorable Arab Forced marriages go against the teachings of islam. A father can not force his daughter and she has the right to say no. Its not that these people who do such things are following islam. Rather they are ignorant about the teachings of islam. The prophet sallahu alayhi wasalam did not allow such a marriage.
Deplorable Arab The child has been given the right in Islam to say no to a marriage. They are not disobeying thier parents by exercising their right. Islam does not allow forced marriages as that is a form of opression. What the parents choose to do and what islam teaches are two different things. It may be implied by the parents that islam gives them the right to force thier children to marry. But islam is quite clear on the issue of forced marriages it is not allowed Please read the link below. islamqa.info/en/163990
Those things were common in olden days (it occurred 1400 years ago). Supposing in romeo and juliet, juliet is supposedly 13 years(the play was written after the Prophet's time). Also in the bible, it is said that Mary was 12-13 when she married Joseph who was 90 years old. Like i said, it was common back then.
MESSAGE FROM ZANA MUHSEN: Thankyou for all of your enquiries. You will be pleased to know that Nadia and the children are home safe in England now, including marcus who came looking for us as soon as he turned 18, just as i always hoped he would. Thankyou all again for caring enough to write.😁
these women are so incredible, and Mo is an amazing, strong person. these events should never have happened, I hate to think how many people are trapped in similar situations
+Justina didnt you hear SHE TOOK THE KIDS AND LEFT HIM AFTER HE SOLD THE DAUGHTERS?sHE S A WEAK WOMAN THE VICTIM OF A NARCISSSIST and she hasnt recovered yet leading to the psychological destruction of her son who stayed with her as she put in his back more load than he could carry He felt responsible and weak that he cant help She then did the unthinkable , beg him to stay at good terms with the narcisistic father charging him with the impossible task to bring back a daughter she had let down for 16yrs. Also, at first she didnt even have money for tickets back home Then she trusted a shady company with all their money instead of thinking a better plan
How the case could be dropped by the Crown "for lack of evidence" is beyond me. It seems as if nobody cares about these girls, neither their father, the British Government (who allowed the father in their country in the first place despite such cultural differences) nor, of course, the Yemeni authorities. It is a sick and sad reflection on a culture that proclaims to be against such trafficking and slavery but does nothing about it when it happens right under their noses. As for the Yemini culture that produced the situation in the first place - it's time to leave the stone age and get up off your hands and knees.
i have read the story of zana in a book so i searched it to social medias to see if it is in the media and saw this video, zana was kidnapped when she was about 10 years old and when his sister is 8 but only zana, it's so inspiring.You can see how strong the love for a mother to it's child.
Don and Judy Feeney: I wonder if this couple had conscience.? By gosh, could they sleep soundly after all? I'm awfully DISGUSTED! I hope their company will COLLAPSE and they will find themselves begging!
I hope so too.For those two to sit there and make it seem like it was nothing gets me so furious and I have no words to begin to describe the garbage who is called the father. It's heartbreaking to see things like this happening in our world... :(

You can’t judge a nation on a few bad apples. I get phone calls every single day from foreign people trying to scam me out of money so what does that say. Good lord!
I think Nadia accepted her ordeal in order to cope. There's a name for that...when an abducted victim begins to identify with their kidnapper in order to cope and to emotionally survive. It is a coping mechanism.
I feel so bad for Mo. That's SO much pressure to put on your child. As much as I feel for the mom, shame on her for doing this to Mo. It's not his fault.
I am an Asian. When I lived in Riverdale, CA, I met and befriended several Yemeni families. I could not talk to the men. But the girls were going to Riverdale High School. When they were in elementary school the whole family would visit their homeland. As they grew and entered high school they resisted going to Yemen. At first they told me it's because the girls were not allowed to visit McDonald's or go shopping. Also they were not alloewed to drive a car. But now, it turns out the real reason is because they did not want to marry and stay in Yemen. I have lost contact with them and hope their lives are full of happiness.
that's only part of it. Her brother saw her nodding her head. She can't leave on her own, and her guilt would be horrendous if she left without her kids. She wants someone to do it for her, and after that many years in captivity in those conditions she's not going to unless that happens.
Update: "Nadia, her children and her nephew Marcus all returned to England in September 2003. I heard this directly from Jana Wain, the best friend of Nadia's mother. At the time, Nadia asked us to keep her personal affairs confidential. Since that time, Jana has formally announced the news on Facebook. Two things went wrong in England. First, Nadia was separated from her mother and kept under the control of her father. Secondly, her non-husband soon entered Britain (illegally) and is now living with her again. So she is in Britain and with her children, but still psychologically controlled (and physically abused) by her old captors. She does everything they tell her to and doesn't seem to understand that this isn't necessary in Britain. The good news is that her eldest sister, Laila, has broken contact with their father, has divorced her abusive husband and is now completely reconciled with her mother and sisters. In addition, Marcus has re-established some kind of relationship with Zana. Nadia's own children seem to be living happy lives: the youngest is now 15. We just hope it will get better one day." Sounds to me that she STILL needs rescuing. Fucking islam.
The father stated this was HIS CULTURE. He never said it was Islam. Islam is AGAINST FORCED marriage. Any Muslim following Qur'an, Sunnah and hadith is well aware of this. Those people following CULTURE do as they please. Folks who DON'T know the difference between religion and culture will attribute one to the other.
+J SMITH Yes Indeed islam a woman cannot be forced. Into marriage nor be sold by their father I agree this is culture. Not Islam this is so sad and wrong
@@jsmith5509 funny for forced marriages being against Islam all Muslim countries practice it. Girls are beaten raped, threatened, tortured, starved and threatened with murder if they don't consent... by any moral definition, that is forced. Islam is the devil's religion.
"I'm the father and I know what is the best for her" Wow, really? For sure he knows what it was best for him and his life went and lived in England. THIS IS WHAT LINDA SARSOUR SUPPORT.
Wow, extorted that much money from such vulnerable people, they should be ashamed of themselves. Just cruel. The father.... Prison, he should be in prison, for kidnapping and selling his own daughters. So sad.
@Rachel Alexandria oh, I understand. Honestly, it's hard to say because oftentimes these men seem like good people and then all of a sudden change. It's like with abusive relationships. Obviously, if they were that way when you met, you wouldn't have married/had kids with them. They're charming, and then they change
@@nanaskin6 nobody forces u to wear makeup and be size 6 in the west ,what hogwash . GOD forbid we wear make up ,it's the worst evil and tyranny since mankind existed ,far better to be kidnapped ,beaten ,raped and forced to live like a slave .
that tape that Mo made... I can understand Nadia's position. She'd been there so long now and it had taken its toll. It is so hard to hold onto hope when so many barriers keep on pressing down. So much easier to simply give up.
This is still happening. This is only 1 story. It's disgusting. Why doesn't the British, American, Canadian, Australian government help these girls, women?????
Why would some culture's not see that women are people who deserve to have full lives to go to school have careers choose for themselves. It infuriates me!
Sylvia Gitau That is the reason their countries are so backward. Whole creative, caring and intelligent power of women are not used but suppressed. It is like trying to fly with one wing. Western countries use both wings that is why we are so much ahead of EVERYTHING!
Feeney is a freggin LIAR! He has the money in an offshore account. Now he's relocated his operations to the Philippines. How did he manage to get that done?
I feel so sad for Mo, he can’t be happy because his sister is suffering. He can’t move forward with his life and he can’t help Nadia. Nadia has decided to stay with her husband and her children, the mother and the older sister should leave Nadia alone and let Mo move on with his live. God bless you Mo, I wish you all the best, please move forward and be happy.
So eloquently put what the sister said about freedom. Plus, she was obviously scared that the Yeman family was eavesdropping on the conversation which is why she nodded when asked about what she told her mother about coming home. I was shocked the British consulate did not do more. The mother was not even married to the guy that sold her daughters.
@foxibot @foxibo.....YES that's exactly what i thought ..she was told the house/room was bugged and her brother would be killed if she didn't say she wanted to stay with her husband....that is why she nodded..but her brother just wasn't picking up on it. ..she sacrificed herself yet again ..if there is any justice in this world her father will be kidnapped, brutally raped for forty years, and force to work hard labor.
What an incredible story about a couple of women who were sold by their father and one returned to England but the other girl decided to stay in Yemen even though they’re brother went and talked to her alone but she said she didn’t want to return
Can you believe how many stories like these go untold.
I can't believe the Democrat party supports these peoples rights to continue this and refuses to condemn selling of underage girls into marriage. Liberal judges even tried to implement Sharia Law in a US court as consideration! Not in a case this bad, but it opens the door to this barbaric ideology and gets them more radical votes!

Yes because the father has old outdated views the brother brought up in Birmingham and new beliefs
@@christynorman7288 THIS PIG LIVED IN BHAM LONG ENOUGH FOR HIS CHILDREN TO GROW UP. HE WAS PART OF THE BRITISH CULTURE WHEN IT SUITED HIM SO SAYING HE GREW UP WITH DIFF BELIEFS IS NO EXCUSE !

Always the same
A good young man, indeed!
Mo is remarkable. So many brothers have participated in their sisters’ victimization, but he stood against it.
I read the 3 books: "No mercy" by their mother Miriam, "Stolen" by Zana, and "A promise to Nadia" by Zana. That was about 20 years ago, still cant forget it. Such a tragic story
thanks for letting know about the mothers story. halfway through 'a promise to nadia' now, and ordering 'stolen'... as well as 'Without Mercy' by Miriam Ali-Kamouhi

Nadia is now 55 years old and has been living in Yemen for 41 years. At this point it's all she knows, her personality shaped to fit the culture and lifestyle, her children are grown...I understand why she wouldn't risk it.
I hope in all this tragedy she managed to find peace in her life 😔

I kept wondering while watching this, so why hasn't the father moved back to Yemen? If it's the best place for his daughters, why isn't it for HIMSELF?
gina fernandez He had more kids still living with him , remember they had seven kids !
gina fernandez they did , since she left him , when it became public !
guleet, I’d rather not argue about this, but I stand by my thought. I don’t understand a parent who banishes two of his children to another country, possibly to never see them again, even worse without consulting their mother. Why not move the entire family, then? Or, if he must arrange the girls’ marriages (trying to respect culture) why not find them husbands nearby? This was done in such a secretive, final way that to me it seems heartless and abhorrent.
guleet, your last statement makes it clear we will never agree. What you are saying is 1) racist and 2) chauvinist. Apparently you think men have the right to control everyone in their family. Mothers don’t have the right to know where their children are, or to be present at the birth of their grandchildren? Fathers have the right to choose who their children will be friends with and sell them to strangers in other countries? Then, to top it off, while I’ve tried to be polite and somewhat understanding of the differences in cultures, you are denigrating my intelligence by questioning whether I have watched the documentary. Of course I have. I have also read articles about this and seen the girls’ pictures in Yemen. Both look miserable, but Nadia in particular looks absolutely distraught and hopeless. Maybe you would do this to your children, but my husband and I work hard, together, for our children to have safe, meaningful, HAPPY lives.
Daddy can't claim his benefits or get the free medical care from the NHS in Yemen. Daddy needs a Bullet
It saddens me that they always say ‘Zana was the strong one’. Nadia has been incredibly strong - in a different way. She clearly loved her children so deeply and could not leave them when they were very little. A mothers love and bond and NEED to protect her children is so strong and so unbreakable, Nadia sacrificed her freedom and her life for her children. She is INCREDIBLY strong.
Very well said!
Who is the winer Nadia or Zeina! Nadia has family ,husband, hause! Zeina has no family, no husband, no house and no money! Who is the ultimate loser in this case!

I was forced into marriage at 14. I escaped across the border in the middle of the night. because I was his property.
I didn’t know what was happening, and I’m a Canadian, x-ese. The man was 47, and beat me, raped me, traumatized me so severely it took witnessing a suicide 25 years later to unlock the repressed memories to a point where PTSD hit and years of denial melted away in psychogenic seizures.
The “family” denied it. They said it was a choice. Little by little, though... you get brainwashed. I thought it was okay, it was normalized by those around me or hushed up, as though it’d never happened. I didn’t KNOW what happened, and I also had no idea why I had these bouts of depression, anxiety, self harm, attempts at suicide.
When you’re a victim of your parents’ ideologies of the cultures they were raised in you do develop a type of Stockholm syndrome. I did everything after my escape (aided by one of the first female doctors in X country) to seek validation from those who hurt and continue to deny saying; even now, yes, I was married. It was my choice. There was no abuse.
A lost child in an adult’s body. It is the parents’ fault. Although we can bear children as females by that age and younger we are not property, but we’re too young to know our worth. We’re groomed. Just as pedophiles do their victims, we are by those sworn to protect us: Our parents.
It took decades and a PhD in psychology to accept that nothing that took place was my fault. Not the abuse. The rape. The neglect. And it’s also not my parents’ fault.
They are victims of their upbringing. When they leave their homeland they socially integrate aesthetically; not wholly. They ever worry what their “image”, that omnipresent shadow in their homeland trumps all, not realizing they, too, have a choice. This is what drives “honor killings”. The shame that is put upon a family name.
You aren’t forced to marry just the person in these situations. You marry a family and the clout behind that family name. And the more powerful the name, the less rights you have, and your adolescent mind accepts this as fact.
I was lucky, I never gave up. I escaped into education and music.
But I did give up my family, and only contact them under the conditions I’ve created. Those parents who chose to force me under false pretenses to marry as a child, yet still take zero accountability. Even today.
It’s the same situation as women who are abused, or children who are groomed. Just the perpetrators are the ones who we loved, looked up to and trusted the most to take care of ya.
If all those horrific instances hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t be helping others like myself today. I wouldn’t be who and what I am artistically and on the inside. They shaped me, and they can and do, others as well.
If you ever need think that someone needs help?
Act. Don’t question. It’s better to be wrong than to have been right and not done anything.
❤️❤️❤️

I'm really sorry this happened to you. I'm so glad you escaped.
😢 very horrible parents
I'm glad you escaped, sorry you went through that
There should be a law in England, USA, or any other democratic countries in the world, that if their parents forced their children to marry someone,especially under age, that they can be stripped of their citizenship, or at least be in jail, and be deported.The father should be in jail or deported to Yemen.
Leticia Albitos More than half the Worlds male population would be in jail for that and the families who participate and the system generally and bogus religions and neighbours. NAnd who ever has micro chipped some people😷 who????
There are laws...this isn't legal lol. The problem, as always, is proving it and gathering enough evidence to get a conviction.
@@Red1Green2Blue3 it is legal, they are Yemeni citizens, in Yemen. Where the law of the land is sharia

The "father" is garbage. Not even human garbage. He's a pos in a meat suit that should be slowly broken down into the swill water he obviously crawled from.
"She's UNDERAGED!" so she's too young to have her own say but not too young to be married, have kids, carry a household? He's off his rocker
thats bcoz those are the perfect rules of the hypocritical society .Example you are too young to work but you can work if your parents agree REALLY?? that gives all power to parents and takes it away from children in the name of protecting the children Or school is mandatory unless your parents offer a reasom Kids are treated like objects who belong to the parents So a kid isnt old enough to take the decision wether he can work or not but if his parents sent him to work he s then old enough to do the task

The Mom is quite naive but thank God she woke up ! She did her best! Bless this family
well if he was 13 after the girls spend 6 years in Yemen, that means he was 7 when this happened so he couldn't help his father even if he wanted to

And for the father, he should also suffer for selling his underage daughters!! This story has enraged me 🤬😡

she might even be a covert passive narcisist ,not full blown maybe but she seems she has some trsits
What sucks is he's blaming this whole thing on culture. You can keep it sir!
Immigrants like the father should undergo a cultural education before being allowed to stay in a Western country. These people just do not respect the Western Culture
Why the British court hasn’t put the father in jail for selling his daughters? No evidence really? His daughters words are not enough?
The Feenys should be thoroughly investigated and made to return every penny! They lied and stole!
They were going take the money. And do nothing right from the start.

I read Zana's book in my early twenties and I still can't forget her words 20 years later. Absolutely harrowing and disgusting that our own embassy wouldn't do their duty and retrieve 2 *underage* British citizens who had been kidnapped and forced into slavery.
That right there!
I bought the book second-hand here in Bulgaria.
As a man who strongly believes in equality Zana's story caused many emotions between empathy, disgust and red-blooded anger.
I would have liked to have met the father when I was young & fit.
The British government could have done so much more.
What is it called?
The so-called father himself declared that he could never have done such a thing because the girls were underage. It's scary how people can be so delusional and wrong, yet so self-righteous.
THATS NOT what he said ,He chose for them because they were his underaged girls n he knows beter he just didnt receive moey is what he said
They stole her money. They should be sued.

They should be in jail for fraud.

My heart goes out to all the women who are currently being imprisoned by their captors aka husbands. It's also enraging that the mom had to get hit by a truck to get money so she could try and get her daughter's back. They are all warriors and my heart is with them all.
U mean like in the situation above right? Not saying all husbands are captors right? But yeah damn I should start some kind of movement to raise awareness and go against this kind of thing. No such culture practices where women are enslaved, r*ped, sold and have their children used against them as bargaining chip, should be allowed to remain, on the bases of understanding different cultures or not being a prude. No one will justify a culture where children are sacrifice, as not to be insensitive, so why not do the same for women in these situations
The father, the fenneys should be behind the bars... m so heartbroken for nadia :(
I'm an Arab, and this makes me sick to my stomach. For anyone who thinks this is okay to us, it is definitely not!! But sadly some people still think in this way, it's quite rare but it still exists. My prayers go out to all of the women in the world who are still being treated this way. I feel lucky now that i was born into a good family.
Appreciate your life!
Most fathers send their daughters to University and have a degree and get a career that they want. In short they want to be successful and the best in their lives . While others send their daughters back to stone age to marry a stranger half or thrice their daughter's age. What a stupid mentality! Sick people!
Queenie Khaleesi he sold them. Human trafficking.
Queenie Khaleesi both those things are bad
How cruel to bring your daughter up in the UK - expecting to lead a normal British lifestyle. Then send them off to another country to be a slave to some man they've never met. Raped every night I should imagine. Why bother having a daughter? Money?!!!?? Is this really the best life for your daughter? It's cruelty beyond words.
That kind of marrying off occurs across all over the world. Remember; it's not only young girls being married off against their will its young men too. Mormons marry off their kids at a young age too !
This is exactly why I don't buy the culture/tradition/religion excuses, that just groups loads of people into the same boat and then used as defense for why we are wrong for saying it's wrong. It's not everyone, the families that do this and treat their children should be in jail or at least CPS should've been taking the kids away regardless of ethnicity/background/politics/religion/whatever else. This is pretty much human trafficking with a heavy dose of brainwashing/grooming. Mentally sick people who need therapy, education, and probably shouldn't even have been allowed to have kids if this is what they were going to be raised as, pretty much cattle for sale bs. Should be very illegal. Should be places for these poor girls and boys to run to easily where they can ACTUALLY be prrotected.
I read her book! It happened to my school friend. These are strong women..I think their mum is excellent, what a real mum she is..never gave up on her daughters. If they are here now..then she needs to write another book, the rip off, and the way they dealt with it. I read it long ago and remember it. I hope my school friend made it too.
Didn't their mother find it weird that her husband is sending their 2 daughters on a “holiday” that too separately with two older men?
Gives a whole new meaning to forced marriage. It wasn't what was best for his daughters, it was what was best for him. They were a source to his greed.
The feeneys and the father are the worst kind of humans ever
This is one of the reasons I am grateful for being born and raised in a country that women are viewed with respect. I hope people all over the world get a proper education specially these people in Arab nations where women are subjected with lower or no semblance of dignity at all.

Ysee that, right there, what you just said, THAT is part of the problem.
Why is it that when there's a story about the bad behaviour of non-white people someone always pipes up and brings race and racism into it when it's not about race or racism.
When they do its well white people do it too or well look what white people did in the past.
This is about black people nothing to do with the white race.
It's disgusting regardless of race, colour, religion, nationality it's about very bad people.
You didn't even condemn it it's like white people did bad things and stuff and did slavery and stuff and killed people and stuff so therefore this is OK.

Nadia's brother must be emotionally exhausted from all this. Wouldn't be surprised if he has depression as a chronic condition as a result of all this.
I kept hoping this would come around right. Sigh. After having many children and possibly feeling bonded to her husband, I can see why she might want to stay. And at the heart of it; she was brainwashed into accepting her Yemen life and lulled by hard work, frequent pregnancies, and fatigue.
The father talked about how great Yemen is yet he continues to live in the UK. The village they filmed in Yemen in this vid reminded me of vids I'd watch in church reenacting Bible stories. Life in that village doesn't look like it's changed much in 2000 years.
Ya think so...?
This family should go to court & reimbursed from the rip-off fake rescue man & woman who obviously stole over 100,000 pounds from. This story was an amazing testimony to the moral strength & character of these women & brother!!! Amazing!!!
They signed no contract, so basically its like they handed over their money to someone with no promise or guarantee of anything back. They have no more legal standing than if i were to give your £180,000 tomorrow and then ask for it back. So sad.
LadyT exactly
no.not really Oral agreements are still valid.
the reason they cant get it back is bcoz they were promised 80%sucess not 100% PLUS the co now moved to Philipines so if there was enough will the police could investigate where did they spend the money (but in that case they d argue like they did that they cant betray their ground (yemeni)ppl She could destroy them with 1/bad publicity and 2/if she had recordings of them promising that ground operation Where they d be saying that now its possible and after these last money we will get them out

CTU stole this mother's money $185,000 in English pounds! What monsters! On top of the Father being a slime, the husbands who thought to buy wives! OMG All these people need to go to jail!
In this culture it’s not considered buying a wife, it’s more like a dowry. So crazy that several cultures still practice dowries! Middle Eastern, Asian, African, and I’m sure some I’m not aware of.
Why isn’t the father in prison for human trafficking. This is disgusting. He’s a horrible person and he broke the law.

Shame on the British government for not stepping in to help and offer more assistance, these are *human lives* and are worth more help and deserve their freedom.
You think this is bad. You should watch honor killings in the UK. One girl i can think of warned the police and asked for help over and over. They called her a liar. Now its to late. She was killed by exactly who she said would do it.
But most cases of honot killings in the UK, US, and Canada all soumd the same. They never helped the girls and they could have.

Honestly it's people like this that give Arabs a bad name. I grew up in an Arab household with my older brother and younger sister and our father was the kindest father anyone could dream of having. He grew up in the middle east where my aunts had been married to family friends (they consented to the marriages) and he never dreamed of doing anything like that to any of us. We'd frequently discuss it and my father always expressed disgust at how women were treated culturally; he always pushed for us to have our freedom and become independent although he did like us to stay close to home. Like most parents he wasn't ready for us to leave the nest. All our mutual family friends treated their daughters the same, it always saddened me when people would be surprised that our father was so westernized. It was like they expected him to be some horrible strict monster, like people like this are the norm.
Fluffytiger B your dad sounds awesome! 😊
Deplorable Arab Forced marriages go against the teachings of islam. A father can not force his daughter and she has the right to say no. Its not that these people who do such things are following islam. Rather they are ignorant about the teachings of islam. The prophet sallahu alayhi wasalam did not allow such a marriage.
Deplorable Arab The child has been given the right in Islam to say no to a marriage. They are not disobeying thier parents by exercising their right. Islam does not allow forced marriages as that is a form of opression. What the parents choose to do and what islam teaches are two different things. It may be implied by the parents that islam gives them the right to force thier children to marry. But islam is quite clear on the issue of forced marriages it is not allowed

Those things were common in olden days (it occurred 1400 years ago). Supposing in romeo and juliet, juliet is supposedly 13 years(the play was written after the Prophet's time). Also in the bible, it is said that Mary was 12-13 when she married Joseph who was 90 years old. Like i said, it was common back then.

The father of these kids is an idiot. You don’t sell your teenage girls to people.
Aimee Coleman but don,'t get it wrong, he had their best interest in heart, although for himself the best was England
And the poor mum what she had to go through being separated from her daughters
Very good point.
Her first two kids were taken away by her man and she hasn't left him! Even more, she gave birth to another 5 children of his. Wtf
+Justina didnt you hear SHE TOOK THE KIDS AND LEFT HIM AFTER HE SOLD THE DAUGHTERS?sHE S A WEAK WOMAN THE VICTIM OF A NARCISSSIST and she hasnt recovered yet leading to the psychological destruction of her son who stayed with her as she put in his back more load than he could carry He felt responsible and weak that he cant help She then did the unthinkable , beg him to stay at good terms with the narcisistic father charging him with the impossible task to bring back a daughter she had let down for 16yrs.
Also, at first she didnt even have money for tickets back home Then she trusted a shady company with all their money instead of thinking a better plan
The men seem to only have one job: impregnating young girls! Oh, and selling their daughters (side job)!
Mom is guilty and stupid because she knows about her husband's culture
How the case could be dropped by the Crown "for lack of evidence" is beyond me. It seems as if nobody cares about these girls, neither their father, the British Government (who allowed the father in their country in the first place despite such cultural differences) nor, of course, the Yemeni authorities. It is a sick and sad reflection on a culture that proclaims to be against such trafficking and slavery but does nothing about it when it happens right under their noses. As for the Yemini culture that produced the situation in the first place - it's time to leave the stone age and get up off your hands and knees.
The Stone Age is right! Look at those abodes and where they are located!!! The goats on the mountains live better lives!!
with women ued as slaves and reproduction objects.@@verapawlak5260
Their father should be sent back to Yemen and striped of his UK citizenship.😢😢😢
i have read the story of zana in a book so i searched it to social medias to see if it is in the media and saw this video, zana was kidnapped when she was about 10 years old and when his sister is 8 but only zana, it's so inspiring.You can see how strong the love for a mother to it's child.
Don and Judy Feeney: I wonder if this couple had conscience.? By gosh, could they sleep soundly after all? I'm awfully DISGUSTED! I hope their company will COLLAPSE and they will find themselves begging!
I hope so too.For those two to sit there and make it seem like it was nothing gets me so furious and I have no words to begin to describe the garbage who is called the father. It's heartbreaking to see things like this happening in our world... :(
many americans are like that, i mean in SOUTH
mresstell I hope they fall into miserable debt
@@ballkans unfortunately there are people of all ethnicities that are like that. Im from north America. The state of maine at the very farthest tip of the united states in the allagash. I find that People in the cities have no conscience. Or morals. The south is a mad laand. But the people of the north woods of Maine have morals and live strictly by them. Please dont let these horrible selfish people be your only impression of Americans. Were not all like that. Just like in any country. Anywhere. We have good and bad people.
Na Vrh Brda Vrba Mrda are you from America!? I am! Born and raised and I will 100% argue till the end that this is not how we act! Shame on you for assuming something you know nothing about. You can’t judge a nation on a few bad apples. I get phone calls every single day from foreign people trying to scam me out of money so what does that say. Good lord!
I read her book years ago and have often thought of Nadia, I'm sad that she never returned home to her family.
same here ..i was going to say he exact same thing when I saw your comment..
Gypsynyc10 great minds think alike..
Su F 😉
She has with her sons and Zana's son.
I think Nadia accepted her ordeal in order to cope. There's a name for that...when an abducted victim begins to identify with their kidnapper in order to cope and to emotionally survive. It is a coping mechanism.
those scammers should be arrested..assholes..ripping off the vulnerable...thumbs for the mother..she never gave up...and the bro too..God bless you
I feel so bad for Mo. That's SO much pressure to put on your child. As much as I feel for the mom, shame on her for doing this to Mo. It's not his fault.
I am an Asian. When I lived in Riverdale, CA, I met and befriended several Yemeni families. I could not talk to the men. But the girls were going to Riverdale High School. When they were in elementary school the whole family would visit their homeland. As they grew and entered high school they resisted going to Yemen. At first they told me it's because the girls were not allowed to visit McDonald's or go shopping. Also they were not alloewed to drive a car. But now, it turns out the real reason is because they did not want to marry and stay in Yemen. I have lost contact with them and hope their lives are full of happiness.
the daughter is probably staying for her children
that's only part of it. Her brother saw her nodding her head. She can't leave on her own, and her guilt would be horrendous if she left without her kids. She wants someone to do it for her, and after that many years in captivity in those conditions she's not going to unless that happens.
What does she want someone to do for her?????
she resigned to her fate because she had 6 kids and cannot leave without him. T0 escape with 6 kids is impossible.
@@torogi100 yeah its an unfourtunate circumstance
Update: "Nadia, her children and her nephew Marcus all returned to England in September 2003. I heard this directly from Jana Wain, the best friend of Nadia's mother. At the time, Nadia asked us to keep her personal affairs confidential. Since that time, Jana has formally announced the news on Facebook. Two things went wrong in England. First, Nadia was separated from her mother and kept under the control of her father. Secondly, her non-husband soon entered Britain (illegally) and is now living with her again. So she is in Britain and with her children, but still psychologically controlled (and physically abused) by her old captors. She does everything they tell her to and doesn't seem to understand that this isn't necessary in Britain. The good news is that her eldest sister, Laila, has broken contact with their father, has divorced her abusive husband and is now completely reconciled with her mother and sisters. In addition, Marcus has re-established some kind of relationship with Zana. Nadia's own children seem to be living happy lives: the youngest is now 15. We just hope it will get better one day." Sounds to me that she STILL needs rescuing. Fucking islam.
The father stated this was HIS CULTURE. He never said it was Islam. Islam is AGAINST FORCED marriage. Any Muslim following Qur'an, Sunnah and hadith is well aware of this. Those people following CULTURE do as they please. Folks who DON'T know the difference between religion and culture will attribute one to the other.
+J SMITH Yes Indeed islam a woman cannot be forced. Into marriage nor be sold by their father I agree this is culture. Not Islam this is so sad and wrong
its culture not the relgion...its what they think is good.
Thanks, I was following up on this story. I'm partially glad that she at the very least returned
@@jsmith5509 funny for forced marriages being against Islam all Muslim countries practice it. Girls are beaten raped, threatened, tortured, starved and threatened with murder if they don't consent... by any moral definition, that is forced. Islam is the devil's religion.
"I'm the father and I know what is the best for her" Wow, really? For sure he knows what it was best for him and his life went and lived in England. THIS IS WHAT LINDA SARSOUR SUPPORT.
Mo you dont have to be sorry! You are the best brother and tried your best. Please dont feel guilty. Proud of you ❤️
I wonder how the family is now 😞
The father is so disgusting, shame on you. The mother is so strong
they just got scammed 😐 by those other guys from the states !
Wow, extorted that much money from such vulnerable people, they should be ashamed of themselves. Just cruel. The father.... Prison, he should be in prison, for kidnapping and selling his own daughters. So sad.
Anitah Bonghhitt No ! The father did the right thing !!
As a mother and woman I have great respect and admiration for Miriam. Her strength and perseverance is inspiring...
How can a father sell his own daughters to men he didn’t know❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼so sad
He didn't selled them, he just merried them to suitable man!
Why isn't dad locked up? It's illegal to sell children.
What i don't understand is why any women in the Western world would get involved with these men . With all the freedoms we have in the west
I don't know if you mean in general, but these girls were sold into marriage by their father. They didn't make the choice.
@Rachel Alexandria oh, I understand. Honestly, it's hard to say because oftentimes these men seem like good people and then all of a sudden change. It's like with abusive relationships. Obviously, if they were that way when you met, you wouldn't have married/had kids with them. They're charming, and then they change
The same way as they get involved with an abusive western man :( They seem like a good man, fall in love and then the mask falls... :(
Women have no freedom anywhere - the west make us all feel like we should be a size 6 and constantly in makeup sorry but that's not freedom
@@nanaskin6 nobody forces u to wear makeup and be size 6 in the west ,what hogwash . GOD forbid we wear make up ,it's the worst evil and tyranny since mankind existed ,far better to be kidnapped ,beaten ,raped and forced to live like a slave .
Selfish scammers. That woman double talking, trying to treat viewers like they're dumb.
that tape that Mo made... I can understand Nadia's position. She'd been there so long now and it had taken its toll. It is so hard to hold onto hope when so many barriers keep on pressing down. So much easier to simply give up.
This is still happening. This is only 1 story. It's disgusting. Why doesn't the British, American, Canadian, Australian government help these girls, women?????
the dad looks like he's wearing those funny glasses with the big nose.
Lynly Motoramo 😂😂😂
Like the song in animation of i wanna grow old with u🤣🤣🤣
wait a min?!?! she had an international best seller and only made 185,000 ... she got ripped of on her publishing BIG TIME!!
she gave the feeney's 185000 pounds, she probably made more than that
And at the end they said she ended up owing 95 thousand something to do with the book. So she made a heck of a lot less when you add that with it
I feel sorry for the mother... Her agony...
This is not a father, this is an ultimate betrayal of a monster.
Dad never thought to ask his daughters what they wanted to do with their lives. That's not taking care of them, that's control.
Why would some culture's not see that women are people who deserve to have full lives to go to school have careers choose for themselves. It infuriates me!
Sylvia Gitau That is the reason their countries are so backward. Whole creative, caring and intelligent power of women are not used but suppressed. It is like trying to fly with one wing. Western countries use both wings that is why we are so much ahead of EVERYTHING!
actually these are not cultures these are exerting pressure on the weak
Sylvia Gitau school and careers are the death of women
Soul full no western countries are ahead because they’re white
@@BlackNoiseCat No they are not; tell that to your momma who made you. School and careers keep them safer and happier
Feeney is a freggin LIAR! He has the money in an offshore account. Now he's relocated his operations to the Philippines. How did he manage to get that done?
What a pos
The fact the father says "they are underage - they have no say" ... ... ... What an upsetting story for these two girls life ...
I wish someone could sell the father to someone behind bars
I feel so sad for Mo, he can’t be happy because his sister is suffering. He can’t move forward with his life and he can’t help Nadia. Nadia has decided to stay with her husband and her children, the mother and the older sister should leave Nadia alone and let Mo move on with his live. God bless you Mo, I wish you all the best, please move forward and be happy.
Mo is amazing
The little brother moved me to tears. Oh Dear God......let nobody else ever go through this pain.
So eloquently put what the sister said about freedom. Plus, she was obviously scared that the Yeman family was eavesdropping on the conversation which is why she nodded when asked about what she told her mother about coming home. I was shocked the British consulate did not do more. The mother was not even married to the guy that sold her daughters.
foxibot they had a private Muslim ceremony !
@foxibot
@foxibo.....YES that's exactly what i thought ..she was told the house/room was bugged and her brother would be killed if she didn't say she wanted to stay with her husband....that is why she nodded..but her brother just wasn't picking up on it. ..she sacrificed herself yet again ..if there is any justice in this world her father will be kidnapped, brutally raped for forty years, and force to work hard labor.
Oooh.. Isn't that wrong in Muslim religion...?
@@verapawlak5260 yes it is.
@@guleet75 oh ok.
What a wonderful young man the son Mo is. 👌
What an incredible story about a couple of women who were sold by their father and one returned to England but the other girl decided to stay in Yemen even though they’re brother went and talked to her alone but she said she didn’t want to return
