Burned Alive : A Victim of the Law of Men Summary
| Souad was a 17-year-old girl living in a small village in Palestine when she had the misfortune of falling in love. It was an emotion that would lead to an unspeakable act of violence-to near-death and to a lifetime of exile from her homeland.This is Souad's true story of a childhood filled with hard labor and physical abuse at the hands of a father humiliated by the birth of many daughters and only one son. Desperate to leave her family home, Souad is enticed into a relationship with a handsome neighbor, but when her short-lived romance leaves her pregnant, marriage is not an option. Firstly, she is forbidden to marry until her older sisters find husbands. Moreover, the shame she has brought to her family is punishable in only one acceptable way: Death.Her family's plot to kill her, the damage they inflict, her harrowing struggle to survive burns over 90% of her body, her dramatic escape from Palestine, and her resolve to build a new life for herself is a tale of heartbreaking drama and remarkable courage. |
