Parents accused of burning daughter with hot oil after she refused arranged marriage
These Amish are out of control. Their only saving grace is that they make awesome potato salad.
SAN ANTONIO — A man and a woman have been arrested and charged for allegedly abusing their 16-year-old daughter multiple times because she refused to submit to a proposed arranged marriage with a 28-year-old man, according to an affidavit.
On Jan. 30, 16-year-old Maarib Al Hishmawi went missing after leaving Taft High School for the day. She was later found alive, but authorities were tight lipped about the details surrounding her disappearance. An underground organization that rescues women in abusive family situations was able to get her out of where she was being held, according to law enforcement officials.
"Please help me. Every time we go into her room, we cry," Abdulah Hishmawi, the teen's father, told us while she was missing.
Her parents were arrested and charged with continuous violence against family for their alleged connection to her disappearance.
