‘Sex slave to my husband’: A Singaporean’s 18-year ordeal in a Malaysian cult-linked group

HUSBAND HAS” Total” Right OVER WIFE

In 2007, on the pretext of” saving” her from rebellion and external influence, GISB forced her to marry a man 10 years her senior, who was also the son of an active and influential part, said Zoey.

” My lips made me want to marry,” I said. because I immediately disagreed with their wants.

The then-adolescent married without the parents ‘ consent or appearance. Before a solemnization can take place, the bride’s parents must give approval under Islamic law in Singapore and Malaysia, or in his absence, a member of the family’s equal authority. &nbsp,

When she asked what would happen if she did n’t marry the man, GISB threatened to kick her mother– who was then a strong believer&nbsp, – out of the community. &nbsp,

The gentleman kicked and hit Zoey in Penang a week later when the pair relocated there. She claimed that he continued to do so even though she was expecting his baby. &nbsp,

” While I was female all the way until I gave birth, whenever he wants to have sex, at any time, I have to say yes”, said Zoey. &nbsp,

Over the years, GISB leaders have been quoted claiming that&nbsp, physical skills took a back seat in marriage, beyond that of cliched” excellent mother or great cook” roles.

The eldest daughter of Abuya’s princess has also made a statement to Malaysian press that she was forced into marriage with a GISB head following her father’s passing and was subjected to physical abuse from senior members of the organization. Ummu Atiyyah, then 41, said earlier this month that she was beaten, burned with a lighter, locked in a place, submerged in a lake and forced to remove among other crimes.

Three years into her marriage, Zoey went to the police, and even sought to leave the man.

But she said her father-in-law&nbsp, told her to remove her statement, promising&nbsp, that his brother would change. &nbsp,

” He also said that a divorce will bring shame to ( GISB )”, said Zoey. &nbsp,

She said that her ex-husband also told her that before a woman turns 21, her spouse has “absolute caregiving rights” over her, and that if the husband does n’t want a divorce, there’s nothing the wife can do. &nbsp,

She tried once more with the person in 2014 after having four children with him.

But this time it was her own family who discouraged her from doing so, according to Zoey, who remains&nbsp, doubtful if her grandmother was simply carrying out GISB’s purchases.

Over the years, she said she continued to speak out about her maltreatment, also showing a photo of her wounds to her family as well as GISB’s senior management, including Abuya’s family. But her screams reportedly went ignored. &nbsp,

“(GISB leaders ) kept telling me, your husband is your path to heaven” .&nbsp,

Zoey claimed that she tried taking contraceptives, but another users objected because they thought it was against their faith.

Over the following seven years, she would include five more babies.
