Following the extended siege of Raqqa and its final fall last week, there has been an influx of refugees trying to escape Syria and some of these people fall into the category that can only be described as ISIS wives. Many of their husbands had been killed during the fighting and they were eager to return to their home countries – many had travelled to Syria in order to marry into the organisation.

Arabic television channel journalist Jenna Moussa took the opportunity to interview some of these wives and find out what conditions they had experienced and how they had spent the last few years in the Islamic caliphate. You might be fairly surprised by what she says here:
Well yeah, I didn’t really expect them to be like that at all – more that they would have just been scared into marrying their husbands and living in fear. Seems like they all chose to join ISIS of their own free will and kind of enjoyed it whilst they were experiencing it until it all turned to shit.
There’s a bit more that wasn’t included in these tweets from Jenan too:
Our husbands would spend money on lipsticks for sex slaves seized from the Yazidi community in northern Iraq.
There was a lot of tension between the wives and the sex slaves.
Some of the wives even divorced their husbands because of that. They were spending too much on the sex slaves, buying them the best make-up, clothes and accessories.
My husband had a ‘sex-slave app’ on his phone, which allowed users to share photos of the women along with prices such as $2,000 and $3,000. A virgin could be sold for $10,000.
Sounds like a really happy and productive marriage. Oh wait – they both sound like complete dickheads. You’ve really got to have a screw loose to travel over to another country on a whim to join ISIS and be a wife though, so I guess these women got what they deserved really. Hope it works out for them now their husbands are dead and ISIS is on its last legs, but I’m not too confident really.
