A woman raised Catholic in Jordan describes how she was disowned by her community after divorcing and would likely have been killed if she stayed. She's received death threats from her father for 23 years.
I just did not realize how bad they're going to turn. So my entire community in Jordan disowned me. I became like that bad person in the family and in my small community. Even though I'm Catholic, I was born and raised Catholic in my small community. If a woman does anything that's not accepted by the father, by the uncle, by. By the brother, they kill her. And they call it honor killing. So they believe that they're bringing the honor back to the family by shedding her blood. So if I was in Jordan, first, I would not have left. Second, if I did, I would have been killed. So I have been dealing with death threats for my life for the last 23 years from my own father because he could not handle the idea that his daughter is divorced.
