Hot oil poured on teen after refusing arranged marriage

A teenager in Texas didn’t want an arranged marriage, so her parents threw hot oil on her and beat her with broomsticks, officials in Bexar County, Texas said.

On January 30th, 16-year-old Maarib Al Hishmawi had been reported missing after leaving Taft High School, where she was a student.

Her father made a desperate plea to local station KSAT for her return.

But later, authorities say there was much more to the story.

She was found in March after she was taken in by an organization that cared for her.

these people belong in the stone ages

My credo: I have been around the block and in the trenches too many times and have reached a stage in life where I prefer to be frank, honest, truthful and accurate than be liked, popular and praised. Yeah in this age of social media I would definitely belong to a small minority but that's ok because I always walk my talk and within the confines of my life circumstances I strive to a change agent which gives me all the satisfaction I will ever need
