Why Single Emirati Girls are terrified
By Hanan in UAE December 28, 2006

It is a big mistake to venture out at night if you are young, female and unmarried in the UAE.

Fatma M7amad, a university student, let her guard down and paid the price by being kidnapped. Four days after being carried off by a gang of thugs, starved and severely beaten, Fatma found herself married to a man she had never seen before. (oooh that's new!)
Her tears and screams led to beatings, at least until the nuptials were complete. During the marriage ceremony a rope was tied around Fatma's waist in case she disgraced the groom's family by trying to flee. (so kidnapping someone to marry them is not disgraceful enough) But by then, the resistance had been beaten out of her.

In those dark hours, all she wanted was for the nightmare to end, even if it meant being married to a complete stranger. But, like thousands of similarly married Emirati girls, she feared the kidnappers' vengeance. Unwilling to face more beatings, she resigned himself to marriage.

This is marriage season in UAE, and it is a dangerous time for young women. Imaginary Emirati workers say excessive dowry demands by brides has forced the parents of young men to hire men to organise such "shotgun alliances".

Payment of large dowries - banned by law - is widespread in UAE. The groom is expected to shower the bride with a wide range of consumer goods, jewellery and cash .

Activists in UAE said the bride kidnapping system was well honed. Delivery by the "Rasein bel '3a9b contractors" was guaranteed within days. "Fatat jameela mu7tarama thaat 5uleq" are among the top targets.


I repeat this is a work of fiction I don't want readers to think this actually happens in UAE, we have our own problems as it is lol !
