I artikeln nedan kan man läsa om hur komplicerat livet är i Gaza. Denhär gången är det inte Israel som är problemet utan de stränga reglerna för umgänget mellan män och kvinnor.
Defying Convention – A Gaza love story ( OMER GHRAIEB / THE MEDIA LINE, Jerusalem Post)
“Every one who meets me thinks I am very happy and that I am lucky to have such an open minded father that lets me work and not get married,” she told The Media Line. “But the truth is much more complicated and painful.”
“My father has been refusing every man that knocks on our door for over nine years,” Nur said. “I am tired of him taking my salary and preventing me from marriage. Now I see education, work and independence as a burden, not a privilege.”
“ Ehsan fell in love with his wife A’isha, a girl from the neighborhood, when he was 14 and she 13.
Eight years later they are still together, with Ehsan is about to graduate with a degree in pharmacology from Gaza’s Al Azhar University and A’isha studying journalism at the same school.
But after being together for years, the couple is still no closer to being able to expose their marriage.You know what would happen if we revealed our marriage right now?” Ehsan said. “She would be killed and I would be either locked up or have to go into hiding to keep myself alive. But I can never let them separate us and I will do everything to fight them if they try. I am willing to take her and live somewhere else or hide or even get out of Gaza.”
