I think it's unspeakably sad. But it has a happy ending: she had been sentenced to death but a woman lawyer saved her.

Wow. That's mind-boggling.

Answer 1

It is appalling what happened to Layla, but it is not uncommon throughout the world.
You can go to many countries around the world and find girls who have been sold by their parents for prostitution or other work. Many girls from Vietnam are found in Cambodia with many as young as 5 years of age (for oral sex). Karen, Kachin, Meo and other ethnic girls in Burma as sex slaves of Burmese (Burman) soldiers, or Mexican and other South American girls, some as young as 5-6, used as sex slaves and prostitutes in the US. Children from the Ivory Coast in Africa ending up in other countries as child slaves, sex slaves and prostitutes or girls from Eastern Europe found in Western Europe, Britain and the US as sex slaves.

Answer 2

Having lived in an Arab country for over 8 months now, I would say that this is pretty typical.

I have had Arab friends in the past and if they have lived in the US they are very different, I do not like the Arabs I deal with here.

In Arab law they are allowed to beat their wives for "Willfulness".

It is all very sad here to see how unhappy the women seem. I cannot recall once hearing an Arab woman laugh since I walked off the plane in this country.

They also recently jailed a woman in Saudia Arabia (I think) for having an "Inappropriate Relationship" with a man not her husband. They jailed her after her relatives raped both her and the man she was friends with.
