It would have been easier just to have a relative in Pakistan kill her or say the magic islamic phrase 3 times to divorce her.
That’s a very good point. I’m trying to visualize what this woman must have gone through traumatized by it all. You go through all the hassle of trying to get on a plane these days only to be tagged a terrorist, taken off the plane into the arms of brutish governmental agents, endure the extensive interrogation, pained exhortations of denial, the uncertainty, anxiety of thinking what could go wrong, prolonged isolation, weeks at a time, multiply that by a conservative factor of say, 6 times a year times for three years, to get an idea what she had to endure.
