Whoever you heard that from, it's not true. I think you saw many pictures where I am with an abducted Yazidi girl who I met in northern Iraq. Some of the Yazidi girls were as young as 12 years old. They were forced to marry 80-year-old men in Mosul and Syria, and the rest of Iraq and Syria. This has been mostly propaganda by the Muslim world, which is saying that, but that's not true at all.
In Germany, I think you have seen it, or I can give you the pictures and the video. Many of them have been married to young Yazidi men after they escaped. We are the one organization, with CYCI, that was in northern Iraq. Working together, we saved almost 141 individual Yazidi girls. Now many of them are in Germany and they are married.
This is not right. We paid some of them more than $7,000 just to get our women back. It was the same thing. Now we have some escaped Yazidi girls imprisoned by KRG. The KRG tried to brainwash them. They said, if you go to your community they're going to kill you, so stay and convert to Islam. It's better for you.
