KURDISTAN, Iraq, 26 March 2020 (UNFPA)* – Intisar* was only 15 years old when her parents forced her into a marriage. She described it as an act of commerce: They sold her to another family to pay off a debt. “It is the worst feeling in the world to be traded off like that by the people who are supposed to protect you,” said the now-37-year-old Intisar, during a recent interview.
Her husband was 25 years her senior, and immediately abusive. He never missed an opportunity to remind her that she was “just a bargaining chip,” she said.
