I am 23 years of age and was sexually abused from the age of 12-19 it would have continued but i ended in up in critcal care because i wanted to take my own life commit suicide!!

what about protecting us? why should a man be able to take all those precious years of my life i was desperate and wanted it to stop why should i have to leave a town or city and start all over again, he did that against my will why shall women like me suffer. I am actually going against Islam beacuse every article i see.. does not give me as a women respect so why shall i respect something that refuses to feel the sorrow and pain i do and it just to tells you its ok and your abuser did nothing wrong.

He did wrong not me a screamed, cried and shouted for help and for it to stop but he just carried on all the same, why shall i continue to suffer for his hidious actions.

i am going through crown courts for justice and am frowned upon by the muslim community. You know what, so be is it any worse than what i already going through, i will fight for my right and i will tell any other women the same don't let anything or anyone do this to you!!

Zam is not misunderstaing Rape Law in Islam its because Islam has no Law to protect people like Me!!!!
