Trapped by the tribe

 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

I always want the impossible, and I think that’s what drives me. I'm never content with my life. But to be honest, what I want isn’t truly impossible—it’s just considered impossible by my community. A community that expects girls and women to behave in certain ways, defining whether they are "good" or not based on morals I don’t believe are fair



If you're a girl or a woman from a tribe, life can feel like hell on earth rather than the life you dream of for yourself


Some might think I’m exaggerating, but I’m not. Let me give you an example. In a village I know, if a woman decides to drive a car or live independently, she might be killed—simply because her tribe and close relatives believe she has committed a sin This isn’t my personal experience, but I once heard the story of a woman who got married while her husband was in prison One day, she needed something from the market for her children, so she went out to get it. Tragically, she was killed by her 18-year-old brother because their tribe had convinced him it was his duty to protect his sister from going outside alone


I don’t know if the story is entirely true—I wasn’t there—but it was all over social media and TV channels I suppose


 The thing is, women in villages like this are forced to live by other people’s beliefs, and that’s what gets to me


Badriah
