ISIS Tries to Stop Terror Wives from Escaping with Marriage Counseling Center

The price of terrorism on marriages is a heavy one.

The UK Sun is reporting ISIS has opened its first marriage counseling center in Raqqa, Syria to stop terror wives from escaping their marriages.

Thousands of Westerners – including British women – left their comfortable homes and lives to marry a fighter after being radicalised online.

But many have found that they have wed a gun-toting psycho - and airstrikes on the stronghold of Raqqa in Syria mean there are food shortages and water and power run for just three hours a day.

So in a bid to keep couples together and stop women fleeing their self-declared capital, the regime has opened its first relationship counseling centre.

IS media has released photos of the marriage counseling facility. "Photos show a troubled wife getting counseling from a leader in an office that has a box of tissues on the desk for weeping spouses to mop their tears."

The price of terrorism on marriages is a heavy one.

Families are using wood to cook on stoves in their homes or buying slower burning charcoal.

And intermittent water supply is so contaminated that it gives children diarrhea and stomach cramps.

A woman secretly interviewed in Mosul told the website Open Your Eyes, “At least before you we had electricity, we could bake and cook. Our basic needs were met. Now we are back to ancient times.” Another added: “There’s no electricity, no drinking water. There are no services.” A third said: “Even the drinking water is contaminated. It smells bad.”
