Story of My Life by Rahma -A4

"One evening this guy came to my grandma’s place. They talked with granny for a very long time and the guy went each and every time this guy came home he brought us food, money and sweets [?] for me. Little did I know that the man wanted to get me attracted to himself so that he could marry me. Abdullahi [?] was his name. He was a middle-aged man, fat and tall. He was double my father’s age. So my granny married me off to him.

As I was a nine year old kid I did not know the duties of a wife. I used to play with my fellow agemates and when my husband came home he used to beat me black and blue, raped me and even strangled me. "
