In a Human Rights Watch video, a 17-year-old Yazidi girl who escaped from ISIS recalls how the extremists killed the men she was with and took the girls captive. The article also states that a man could be tempted to fornicate with his family’s maid, but “if she were his concubine, this relationship would be legal.”

FULL STORY

Adlee, the teen escapee, said ISIS fighters would beat the girls into submission. The article concludes by praising ISIS for reviving the religious aspect of slavery to prevent “haram,” or forbidden acts of temptation. It quotes that true believers of Islam are those “who guard their modesty except from their wives or the (female slaves) that their right hands possess, for then they are not blameworthy…” The Human Rights Watch video describes how ISIS fighters forcibly marry Yazidi women and girls in mass weddings after killing their husbands and other male relatives.
