Yad L'Achim rescued a woman who'd once come from a Haredi family, and had made the terrible mistake of marrying a Muslim who wound up sexually assaulting her:

A young woman hospitalized after being raped and violently attacked by her husband was recently rescued by nongovernmental Jewish organization Yad L'Achim.

"Rebecca," 18, grew up in a Haredi household in the south of the country. Her parents divorced when she was five years old, and by the age of 15, she was living on the streets.

Rebecca met with Sari Laufer, a social worker with Yad L'Achim, after her friend contacted the organization, who offered her support.

Shortly after their meeting, Rebecca stopped communicating with Laufer. She had met a man from an Arab village in Samaria who was 20 years her senior. The two married and she moved in with him. Laufer continued to try and contact Rebecca, but with no success up until a few days ago.

Rebecca had called Laufer and informed her she was hospitalized in Jerusalem and was suffering from lacerations after being raped and physically abused by her husband.

"I rushed to the hospital," Laufer said, "and there I heard from Rebecca that since her husband watched her all the time and even slept with her in the hospital bed, she did not reveal the real reason she asked for medical treatment. And now that he had left on a few errands, she took the opportunity to call me."

Rebecca told Laufer she was frequently subjected to violence from her husband and explained to her that her husband had told her she could not leave him.

"I realized that if she return to this village with him, it could end in murder. So I called one of the security people from the organization, and together, we contacted the hospital staff for help," Laufer explained.

"If we hadn't acted quickly, it may have ended in disaster," she said.

The two contacted the head nurse and the director of the hospital ward and explained Rebecca's delicate and complex situation, and the staff helped her escape. "We agreed that the head of the ward would tell the husband his wife needed to have emergency surgery and that up until then, he must avoid making any visits," she said.

Thank goodness they got her out that horrific mess. Yad L'Achim does intend to file police reports against the abusive Muslim husband, and he should be put in prison for his crimes. Let's hope the girl does find a better husband of a non-Muslim background now. It's clear she was a victim of taqqiya, and this is exactly why women need to be careful when dealing with Islamofascists, and, there have to be more men of Jewish and non-Jewish backgrounds ready to offer to date and marry such women too, in order to guarantee them a safer and happier life.
