Parents of a Texas high school student who was reported missing in
late January had abused their daughter after she refused an arranged
marriage, leading her to run away from home until she was found in
mid-March, police said.
Maarib Al Hishmawi, 16, was reported missing on Jan. 30 after she was
last seen leaving Taft High School in Bexar County. She was located in
mid-March when she was taken in by an organization that cared for her
after she ran away, KSAT reported.
Authorities on Friday said Al Hishmawi’s parents — Abdulah Fahmi Al
Hishmawi, 34, and Hamdiyah Saha Al Hishmawi, 33 — had allegedly beaten
their daughter with a broomstick and poured hot cooking oil on her when
she refused to marry a man in another city. The parents reportedly
agreed to the arranged marriage in exchange for $20,000.
