A new “manifesto” for girls under the rule of ISIS has been issued telling them they can be married to a Jihadist as young as 9 and that they are to remain “hidden and veiled” to “serve their masters”.
The manifesto, “Women in the Islamic State: Manifesto and Case Study” was uploaded to a Jihadist forum used by ISIS and is written by the all-female Al-Khanssaa Brigade. The same group is the one that beats and stones women and girls who do not follow strict Sharia Law.
The document focuses on Sharia law and a rebuttal of “western civilization” that includes human rights and equality for women.
“It is considered legitimate for a girl to be married at the age of 9. Most pure girls will be married by 16 or 17, while they are still young and active,” it says.
The document tells women to be covered from head to toe at all times, to stay inside their homes to cook, clean and take care of their husbands and that it’s acceptable for women to be locked inside their homes by their husbands. Western women who join ISIS are encouraged to immediately marry a Jihadist and begin duties as a wife.
ISIS tells the women that it is fundamental women have a sedentary lifestyle and that it is her “divinely appointed right” to stay inside and care for husbands except in “narrowly defined circumstances.”
The document also justifies the enslavement of “infidel” women as sex slaves.
