The second example is an Arabic-speaking client who was sponsored by her husband. When she came, she was psychologically abused by her husband by the fact that her husband lied to her about his living conditions in Canada. He told his wife that he was living in very nice conditions. He was not. He was living in a very small apartment, and also had a seasonal labour job; so it was to the contrary.
There was also the fact that she was under his scrutiny and not able to go outside to work. She was not permitted to communicate with others and make friends. She was very much socially isolated and very much under that psychologically abusive situation. The marriage didn't turn out right. She certainly wanted to go back to her own country of origin.
However, he would threaten her and say that if she went back, the sponsorship would be terminated. She was under a lot of psychological threat and material threat as well. She became ill. She was deprived of medical treatment because her husband refused to pay for the costs.
I'll just summarize. In view of all this, she decided to leave him because she understood.... She was well educated, so she was able to speak the language. However, she still needed help in terms of getting her rights identified and known. She did leave her husband. She did leave the marriage that she came to Canada for.
