00:00Can you understand how women feel whose lives are trapped in a dark forest, told "You're a woman, stay home"?
00:07Have you ever wondered if a father could view his own daughter as property?
00:13Put yourself in the place of a young woman.
00:15What would you do if your father tried to sell you to a complete stranger just to get a dowry?
00:22But what if the person you sought refuge with, the one who promised to save you from this hell, turned out to be more cruel than your father?
00:30What if, while trying to escape violence, you found yourself in the middle of even more horrific violence?
00:35How can a person mercilessly subject their own child, a tiny baby, to corporal punishment?
00:42Is this what fatherhood is like? Is this what husbandhood is like?
00:45Unfortunately, some of us feel this pain most deeply, dear friends.
00:49This story tells of a woman who is dragged from captivity in her father's house to the hell of a home under her husband.
00:56We will witness Maryam's struggle for survival.
01:00Was Maryam able to escape from that violent house with her children?
01:04How do you think she finally faced that cruel father and husband years later?
01:08We will learn all of this together, dear friends.
01:12Please be sure to write about your feelings regarding this story, and also mention which country and city you are following us from.
01:19Also, if you want to vent your feelings in the comments, you're in the right place.
01:23If you're ready, we can begin our story.
01:26Enjoy watching.

01:49In a small town on the dusty roads of Anatolia, where even the sun hesitates to warm the houses and stone buildings are huddled together, life is a heavy burden for Meryem.
01:58It was a burden.
01:59The windows of the houses faced not the street, but the darkness inside.
02:04The house where Maryam lived was like being right in the middle of this darkness.
02:07He was the eldest of six siblings.
02:11The burden on his shoulders was far heavier than his age.
02:14She was only eighteen, but the sadness in her eyes made her look thirty.
02:20His father, Halil, was known as the toughest, most ruthless man in town.
02:25His footsteps shook the ground, his voice cracked the walls.
02:29For Halil, the world consisted only of his commands.
02:33Women, children, and especially Mary, were silent slaves to these commands.
02:40Meryem's childhood was filled with the sounds of slaps echoing in the courtyard, the clatter of belts, and humiliating phrases that began with "girl..." and ended with condescending tone.
02:50Even breathing required permission in this house.
02:53Halil had forbidden Maryam from going outside.
02:57Making friends was unthinkable.
02:59His greatest crime was his desire to read books.
03:02Once, he secretly brought a newspaper page that his neighbor had dropped while returning from the market into his room.
03:09When his father found that piece of paper, all hell broke loose at home.
03:14The beating she received that night had bruised not only Meryem's body, but also her soul.
03:20What good will studying do you? This is where you belong.
03:24What I say goes.
03:25Don't go away to study and bring shame upon our honor.
03:28Halil had shouted.
03:29Her mother.
03:32It had a name, but it didn't exist.
03:35It was a silent shadow.
03:37She too would suffer her share of her husband's violence, then withdraw to a corner and weep silently.
03:43She was powerless to protect her children.
03:46The more we failed to protect it, the quieter it became, and the quieter it became, the more invisible it became.
03:50Maryam, watching her mother's helplessness, feared her own fate even more.
03:56She didn't want to be like her mother, to rot away in silence.
03:59Maryam did all the housework, looked after her siblings, and bore the brunt of her father's anger the most.
04:06At night, after everyone had gone to sleep, she would sit by the small window bathed in moonlight and dream of life outside.
04:14Not freedom, just another life.
04:18A place where he can breathe.
04:19There was no celebration at home on her 18th birthday.
04:24Only his father's gaze changed.
04:26He no longer viewed her as a burden, but as a commodity to be sold.
04:31Maryam could hear her father's plans.
04:34He was going to sell her to whoever offered the highest dowry.
04:37This thought hurt more than his father's slap.
04:42Now he had only one thought.
04:43To get out of this house.
04:46No matter what.
04:47Time was flying by, and according to her father, Maryam was getting older.
04:52Initially, they offered Maryam a very large dowry, but her father found the amount insufficient and refused to give her away.
04:59As Maryam grew older, people no longer came to ask for her hand in marriage as they used to.
05:05According to her father, Maryam was now someone who needed to be gotten rid of.
05:08And one day, salvation presented itself to him when he least expected it, in the town's marketplace.
05:14One day, when she had barely managed to get permission from her mother to buy bread for her brother, she saw Rafet.
05:21Rafet was 12 years older than him.
05:24He was a man nearing forty, with a weary look in his eyes.
05:27But he smiled at Mary.
05:30Until that day, she had never seen a man look at her with any emotion other than anger or desire.
05:35Rafet's smile seemed polite.
05:38Rafet knew about Meryem's situation.
05:41Everyone in the town knew about Halil's cruelty.
05:44They met secretly a few more times.
05:47Rafet told her, "I will save you from this hell."
05:51Marry me, and I will never lay a hand on you.
05:53You'll be comfortable.
05:55Maryam had no other choice.
05:57The man his father would find was probably older and richer than Rafet, but the outcome wouldn't change.
06:04Rafet seemed like a viable option to her.
06:07It was a ticket to salvation.
06:10When he returned home, he gave his father the name Rafet.
06:13Halil was initially angry.
06:15He knew Rafet didn't have a penny to his name.
06:18But Rafet agreed to pay the bride price that Halil demanded.
06:22He had borrowed part of the money, promising to pay the rest later.
06:29Halil agreed because he would get rid of his daughter and receive money on top of that.
06:33The wedding didn't happen.
06:35One midnight, Maryam left her father's house with a small bundle of belongings.
06:39She didn't cry.
06:40He just looked behind him.
06:42His mother watched him silently from the window.
06:46Neither of them said a word.
06:48Maryam didn't know that night she was stepping from one prison to another.
06:52He just thought he was safe.
06:55Rafet's house was smaller, damper, and darker than his father's.
07:00The first few days were like a dream.
07:03Rafet didn't lay a hand on her.
07:05For the first time in her life, Maryam sat beside a man without trembling with fear.
07:11She prepared breakfast for him in the mornings and cleaned the house.
07:14But this false spring lasted less than a week.
07:18Rafet's facade of being a savior crumbled in the first week of their marriage.
07:23Rafet was unemployed.
07:24He was an angry man who spent all day sitting in the town's coffeehouse, returning home towards evening, and had no expectations from life.
07:31He immediately took the few coins from the small bundle Meryem had brought from her father's house.
07:38Rafet's true face was revealed shortly afterwards.
07:41While his father's violence was noisy and furious, Rafet's violence was insidious and degrading.
07:49Jealousy was his biggest excuse.
07:51If Mary looked out the window, he would ask, "Who are you looking at?"
07:57If he wanted to go to the market, she would say, "What business do you have at the market? Break your leg and sit at home."
08:03Meryem had fled from Halil's house, but violence was back again, under a different name and with a different face.
08:11Rafet started beating him.
08:12The violence, which began with a slap, escalated into kicks and punches as the days passed.
08:18Meryem's silence was driving Rafet even crazier.
08:22"Speak up, have you swallowed your tongue?" he would shout.
08:26If Maryam could speak, he would hit her even harder, saying, "Are you answering me?"
08:31Maryam sought a way to escape from this new prison as well.
08:34He wanted to work.
08:35I'm bored sitting at home all the time.
08:38"I do cleaning jobs, I sew. It helps us contribute to the household," she said.
08:42Rafet laughed first.
08:44"My wife doesn't work. I don't want anyone talking behind my back."
08:47"There is honor and dignity. You are a woman," she said.
08:51But when there was nothing left to eat at home, he temporarily allowed Maryam to work.
08:57Meryem started working as a cleaner in the wealthy houses of the town.
09:01Rafet would take every penny he earned the moment he got home.
09:05He would take the money and go to the coffeehouse to pay off his debts and buy drinks.
09:09The more Meryem worked, the lazier Rafet became.
09:13He had given up looking for a job completely.
09:15The worst part was the evenings.
09:18Rafet started gathering his friends from the coffee shop at his house.
09:21A table would be set up in the single-room dwelling of the house.
09:25Meryem, exhausted from cleaning all day, had to serve these men.
09:31He would fill their drinks and prepare their appetizers.
09:36The men would stare at Mary with strange looks and make comments.
09:39Rafet wasn't bothered by this; on the contrary, he was proud.
09:44He enjoyed displaying his wife like an object, and took particular pleasure in humiliating Mary in front of his friends.
09:52So, my dear friends, all that shame and honor Rafet talked about suddenly vanished from his mind when he got drunk.
10:00Would anyone ever inflict such cruelty on their life partner?
10:03Anyway, Maryam, fill these glasses.
10:07Don't drive like a heavy vehicle.
10:08Start this hill in second gear.
10:11Why would you sleep?
10:12Come on, look.
10:14This dish was also unsuccessful.
10:16That's how my wife is.
10:17He's incapable of doing anything.
10:19Her mother didn't teach this woman anything either.
10:22I'm talking to you, hey, can't you hear me?
10:25Are you deaf, woman?
10:26Maryam served silently, holding back her tears, despite all the insults.
10:32Each insult was a mark on his soul.
10:36But after those men left, the real hell began.
10:40Rafet would vent the anger and jealousy he accumulated around his friends on Meryem.
10:46Why did that man look at you like that?
10:48Did you smile at him?
10:49Tell the truth.
10:50Whatever Maryam said was pointless.
10:52Beatings had become a routine part of the night.
10:55At least at night, when his father was asleep, his fear lessened at his father's house.
11:01Here, night meant the growth of fear.
11:04Months passed like this.
11:06Mary understood that this marriage was not a salvation, but an even deeper abyss.
11:11He had stopped dreaming too.
11:13He was just trying to survive.
11:16He woke up one morning feeling nauseous.
11:19He didn't understand at first.
11:20But as the days passed, her body was giving her a message.
11:25She was pregnant.
11:26When she told this to Rafet, the man's reaction was strange.
11:30He was neither happy nor sad.
11:33He just shrugged.
11:35Well, that's what was bound to happen.
11:37And now we have a baby to deal with too.
11:40He doesn't say how we're going to look at it.
11:42She said she was pregnant.
11:43For Maryam, this pregnancy was both a source of hope and a source of fear.
11:48This would bring another life into this hell.
11:51But perhaps this baby would change things.
11:54Perhaps Rafet would soften up when he became a father.
11:58Mary was wrong.
12:00Rafet's violence did not decrease as her pregnancy progressed.
12:04On the contrary, the slower Maryam's movements became, the more irritated he became.
12:09Around that time, one day Rafet came home with a piece of paper in his hand.
12:13He was a deserter.
12:15He had been hiding for years, but now he had been caught.
12:19He had to go to the military.
12:21Rafet was angry.
12:22It's your fault.
12:24"You ill-omened woman!" he shouted at Mary.
12:26You brought bad luck.
12:28Maryam didn't know how to feel at that moment.
12:31Rafet was leaving.
12:32This meant a break.
12:34But where would she go with the baby in her womb?
12:37He didn't have a penny to his name.
12:39Rafet's last night before going to the army
12:42He took the last of the money Meryem had been trying to save from cleaning jobs and left.
12:47Maryam was left all alone in that small, damp house.
12:50She was heavily pregnant and had no money in her pocket.
12:53He had only one place to go.
12:54The house she ran away from years ago is her father's house.
12:57Fearfully and ashamedly, he knocked on the door.
13:00Her mother opened the door.
13:02When he saw Maryam in that state, he began to cry silently.
13:06Halil was at home.
13:08He glanced at his daughter.
13:09There was neither compassion nor joy on his face.
13:13This was the place for the future, he said.
13:16That scoundrel who was supposed to be your husband ran away without paying the rest of the bride price.
13:20Since you've come, you'll have to pay your debt.
13:22Yes, dear friends, Maryam was going to pay her own dowry.
13:27Mary understood that night.
13:29Her pregnancy, her pain, her exhaustion, none of it mattered to her father.
13:33It was simply collateral for a debt that needed to be paid.
13:37What he thought was his salvation had only brought him back to where he started, even more indebted.
13:43Returning to the father's house was not a refuge, but the second act of captivity.
13:47Meryem was no longer just Halil's good-for-nothing daughter, but also a woman whose husband was in the army, adrift and in debt.
13:56The other siblings in the house had grown up, but the atmosphere in the house hadn't changed.
14:00Fear still lingered in the very mortar of that house.
14:03Halil didn't care that his daughter was pregnant.
14:06"You'll pay off that good-for-nothing's debt, he'll be your husband," she said from day one.
14:10Since you've gotten used to working, you'll keep doing it.
14:13Eight months pregnant, Meryem set off early in the morning.
14:18She worked as a cleaner in the town's wealthiest mansions.
14:22With her huge belly, she was wiping the floors, climbing the stairs, and beating the heavy rugs.
14:27Her legs were swelling, and her back ached as if it would break.
14:30But he couldn't stop.
14:31If he stopped, he would face his father's wrath.
14:35The women of the houses looked at him with pity, sometimes secretly giving him a piece of fruit or leftover food.
14:43Maryam wasn't eating those meals; she was saving them to bring home.
14:48When he returned home in the evening, he had to count every penny of his day's earnings directly into his father's hand, without touching a single cent.
14:55Halil would take the money, count it, and put it in his belt.
14:59"It's not even halfway done," he would say.
15:01This is the bride price that that scoundrel Rafet didn't pay.
15:04Since you're married, this bride price will have to be paid one way or another.
15:09Did I raise you for nothing?
15:11Maryam was in pain.
15:13Not only her body but also her soul ached.
15:16He was paying his own bride price.
15:18He was buying himself.
15:20She married a man to escape her father's house, but she ended up paying off his debts by working for her father.
15:25Isn't this an unbelievable vicious cycle, my dear friends Shami?
15:30Her mother would secretly watch over her daughter, quietly approaching her at night while she slept and wrapping cloths around her swollen feet.
15:38"My daughter," she would whisper.
15:41Hang in there, we have no other choice.
15:45Something was growing inside Maryam that she had never felt before.
15:50Not anger, not sorrow.
15:53A harsh, cold determination.
15:55She had to endure it for the sake of her unborn child.
15:58This baby was her only hope in this world.
16:02The labor pains began while she was mopping the floors in the kitchen of a mansion.
16:07The lady of the house managed to get her onto a horse-drawn carriage and send her to the small maternity hospital in town.
16:14Mary gave birth to her first son alone.
16:17Neither Rafet nor his mother was with him.
16:20The feeling she experienced when she held her son in her arms made her forget all the pain she had been through, even for a moment.
16:26It was a small, defenseless creature.
16:29He looked at her and swore an oath.
16:32"I will protect you," he whispered.
16:36I will never let you live a life like that.
16:39Just three days after leaving the hospital, Halil sent him back to work.
16:44"The baby is no excuse," she said.
16:46Maryam left her son with his mother and, exhausted and in pain, went back to cleaning.
16:53Days, weeks, months passed.
16:56Rafet's military service was nearing its end.
16:59Mary had almost repaid her debt to her father.
17:03He gave away every penny he earned as part of his own freedom.
17:08For Meryem, the day Rafet was to return was not a celebration, but the beginning of a new nightmare.
17:13The man returned from the army unchanged, on the contrary, even more determined.
17:19He saw Mary and her son in her arms.
17:21He glanced at his son, but didn't like him.
17:24He looked at Maryam, his gaze seemingly saying, "We're starting over."
17:28Rafet took Meryem and her son back to that damp, small house.
17:32Halil was pleased when he sent his daughter off.
17:35"The debt is paid off, Rafet, you're lucky," he said.
17:38Mary was leaving her father's house for the second time.
17:41In the first instance, there was hope for salvation.
17:44In the second case, she was leaving knowing she had nowhere to return to with a baby in her arms.
17:49Life at Rafet's house was even worse than before.
17:52Now there was a baby in the house too.
17:54Rafet couldn't bear to hear the child cry.
17:57Mary would cover her baby's mouth to quiet it, and breastfeed it secretly in other rooms.
18:01Rafet was still unemployed.
18:03He wanted Maryam to start working again.
18:06Meryem left her young son with her neighbor and went back to work cleaning.
18:09But this time there was a difference.
18:11She started hiding some of the money she earned from Rafet.
18:15For your baby's diapers and formula.
18:17By the way, when we say diapers and formula, don't imagine diapers and formula in the same way as they are today.
18:22Maryam would combine a piece of cloth with a piece of oilcloth or nylon and use it as a makeshift cloth.
18:28Anyone among you who raised children or had siblings before the year 2000 will know those baby diapers made of nylon and cloth.
18:36What we call "mama" is actually a kind of gruel.
18:37In other words, a semi-solid, semi-liquid food prepared in a consistency suitable for a baby to eat.
18:42Of course, money was essential for all of this.
18:45Maryam hid the money under her shoes, between the mattress pads, and at the very bottom of the jars.
18:50Rafet, however, didn't care about anything.
18:53Questions like "What do you put under this baby's diaper?" or "What do you feed this baby?" would never cross his mind.
18:59When Rafet realized Meryem was hiding money, all hell broke loose at home.
19:04Meryem endured both the beatings she received and Rafet's insults to protect her child from harm.
19:11Years have passed.
19:12Maryam had a second son.
19:14The number of people in the household had increased, but the misery and violence had not decreased at all.
19:18Rafet had started beating not only Meryem but also the children.
19:23The older son was bearing the brunt of his father's heavy hand.
19:27Mary became a shield between her two sons.
19:30He was trying to take all the blame upon himself.
19:33But it wasn't enough anymore.
19:36Rafet's anger extended beyond Meryem and reached the children.
19:39One night.
19:41That night was the night Mary's fragile patience snapped.
19:45Rafet had come home drunk again.
19:47The older son started getting beaten for no reason at all, simply because he was late bringing the water his father asked for.
19:54Rafet couldn't contain his anger.
19:56He laid his son on the ground and began hitting his feet with a stick.
20:00He had subjected her to corporal punishment.
20:02Mary went mad.
20:03Stop!
20:04Don't do that!
20:05"It's the child!" she screamed.
20:07She jumped on Rafet.
20:08That night, Mary responded for the first time.
20:12She dug her nails into Rafet's face.
20:15He threw whatever he could get his hands on.
20:17Rafet was surprised by this unexpected resistance.
20:21He pushed Mary aside and left her son.
20:23Maryam ran to her son, who couldn't get up.
20:27Their feet were in terrible condition.
20:29The child had fainted from the pain.
20:31Mary took her son into her arms.
20:33At that moment, as she looked at her son's feet, she made a decision.
20:37She couldn't stay in this house any longer.
20:40She couldn't protect her children.
20:42She had run away from her father's house.
20:44But now she had to flee her husband's house with her children.
20:48The issue was no longer liberation.
20:51The issue was survival.
20:53Her son's bruised feet were a knife plunged into Mary's heart.
20:57After that night, Mary was no longer the same Mary.
21:01His fear had given way to a cold and sharp rage.
21:04He wasn't sleeping at night; he was making plans.
21:07She was going to leave this house.
21:08But this time he would be prepared.
21:10She wouldn't be as helpless as she had been when she ran away to her father's house.
21:14He needed to save money.
21:15She started going out to clean again in the mornings.
21:18Rafet was pleased with Maryam's quiet and obedient demeanor after the night he beat their son.
21:24She was unaware of the storm raging inside him.
21:26Maryam was working harder than ever.
21:30In the homes she visited, she no longer wanted food or pity.
21:33He wanted a side job.
21:35She did the dishes, the ironing, whatever it took.
21:38She had become an expert at hiding the money she earned from Rafet.
21:41He doesn't bring any money home anymore.
21:43My wife didn't pay this month, she'll pay next week.
21:45He said that, but he was lying.
21:47His face didn't even blush when he lied.
21:50This was part of the struggle for survival.
21:53He saved the money by burying it inside his children's winter boots, under a stone outside the house.
21:59But cleaning wasn't enough.
22:01He needed more.
22:04One day, the lady of one of the houses where she went to clean,
22:07Meryem, do you know anything about sewing?
22:09A new sewing course has opened in town.
22:12You can go and learn in the evenings.
22:14"Maybe you could start your own business," he said.
22:16Mary's eyes lit up.
22:19In the evenings.
22:20Rafet wouldn't be home.
22:22It would happen at the coffee shop.
22:24"Okay," he said immediately.
22:26That night to Rafet,
22:27Ayten, my neighbor, sews in the evenings.
22:30I will help him too.
22:32"We can also sew winter clothes for the children for free from the leftover fabrics," she said.
22:37Rafet was angry because he hadn't brought the money.
22:39But when he heard the word "free," he couldn't resist and gave permission.
22:43Meryem enrolled in the course that evening.
22:46For the first time in her life, she was doing something for herself without her father's or husband's permission.
22:52The course became his refuge.
22:54The sound of the machine was drowning out the screams and insults inside.
22:58She learned to sew quickly.
23:00Her thin, calloused fingers glided across the fabric.
23:05At the course, she met other women who, like her, had been dealt harsh blows by life.
23:09But one of them was different.
23:11She was a knowledgeable, experienced woman whose name is unimportant in this story.
23:16He noticed Maryam's silence and the deep pain in her eyes.
23:21They became friends with Mary.
23:23Maryam slowly and hesitantly explained her problem.
23:26One evening, after class, that woman handed Maryam a book.
23:31The book was old, with a worn cover.
23:35Read this, he said.
23:36But read it here secretly, not at home.
23:39Don't let your husband see this.
23:41Maryam remembered the beating she received at her father's house.
23:44Book.
23:45Years later, he picked up a book.
23:47He was scared.
23:48But he was more afraid than curious.
23:50That night, after everyone had left the course, she opened the book by the light of a single lamp.
23:55We will not reveal the title of the book in this story due to copyright reasons.
24:00But the book's subject was about women's place in a male-dominated society, the problems women face, and the measures that should be taken to address these problems.
24:09Maryam froze as she read.
24:12The sentences in the book sounded as if they were describing his own life.
24:16Violence, economic freedom, patriarchal order, women's right over their own bodies.
24:22He was hearing these words for the first time.
24:24As he read, the fog in his mind lifted.
24:27He realized he wasn't alone.
24:29He learned that what he experienced wasn't fate, but an injustice.
24:33That book sparked a revolution in Mary's mind.
24:36She was no longer just a mother wanting to save her children, but also a woman who had become aware of her own existence.
24:43Using what she learned in the sewing course, she began mending torn trousers, altering shirts, sewing skirts, and repairing dresses.
24:52Every penny he earned gave him a little more strength.
24:55Every penny was a signature on his ticket to freedom.
24:59Now the plan was clearer.
25:01She wasn't just going to run away, she was going to get a divorce.
25:05She would be completely free from this man, from his last name, from the darkness he had brought into her life.
25:12She made a promise to herself inwardly.
25:14I am not anyone's property or possession; I will stand on my own two feet.
25:19Their children were growing up.
25:21His eldest son had become withdrawn and started to stutter due to his father's violence.
25:26His youngest son had become an irritable, angry child.
25:30The violence at home was poisoning their souls as well.
25:33Rafet sensed that Meryem had changed.
25:37He was no longer afraid like before; even while being beaten, he looked them straight in the eye.
25:43This infuriated Rafet even more.
25:46The level of violence escalated.
25:48One night, just like any other night, happened.
25:51Rafet mercilessly attacked his eldest son simply for running around the house.
25:56The child wet himself out of fear.
25:59Rafet became even angrier.
26:01Maryam made her decision at that moment.
26:02That night was the last night.
26:05She was going to leave this house tomorrow.
26:07He was going to take only as much money as he had.
26:10He had a hard time getting through the morning.
26:12As soon as Rafet left the house, he woke his children.
26:15"We're leaving," he said.
26:16He gathered up all the money he had hidden.
26:18She packed only the children's clothes and that book in a bundle.
26:23She didn't even look back as she walked out the door.
26:26He went straight to the town police station.
26:28She was trembling when she came in, but her voice was steady.
26:31"I have a complaint about my husband," she said.
26:35He beats me and my children.
26:37I'm afraid he'll kill me.
26:39This was Maryam's first step towards freedom.
26:44The police station was colder inside than Maryam's house.
26:46The police officer sitting at the table looked Meryem up and down.
26:50The bruises on her face, the children's fear, it all said it all.
26:53For the first time, Meryem was telling an official about her life and the violence she had experienced.
26:58His voice started trembling, but it grew stronger as he spoke.
27:02She recounted in detail her son's bruised feet, the beatings he had received, and Rafet's threats.
27:07His statement was taken.
27:09They obtained a restraining order against him.
27:11But the police officer also told him the painful truth.
27:15Madam, this paper will only keep him away for a while.
27:19It won't protect you.
27:20Do you have anywhere to go?
27:22Mary had nowhere to go.
27:24He couldn't go back to his father's house.
27:26Even if he sought refuge at his friend's house, Rafet would have found him there too.
27:29"I want a divorce," said Maryam.
27:32Help me.
27:33The police officers at the station took great care of Meryem.
27:36They referred him to a lawyer they knew.
27:39Meryem used the little money she had saved to file for divorce.
27:43When the news reached Rafet, it spread immediately because the town was small.
27:49Rafet went crazy.
27:51He found Maryam on the street.
27:53Despite the restraining order, he intercepted Meryem.
27:57"What do you think you're doing?" he shouted.
28:00You can't divorce me.
28:01You will withdraw that lawsuit.
28:03Otherwise, I won't let you or those children live.
28:06"You have defiled my honor," she said.
28:08For the first time, Maryam wasn't afraid.
28:10He looked into her eyes.
28:12"I'm going to divorce you," she said.
28:15I'm no longer your wife.
28:17Rafet raised his hand to attack him.
28:19But Mary's steely gaze stopped him.
28:23Mary turned around and walked away.
28:26Taking her children, and with the help of the lawyer she met that day,
28:30They were temporarily placed in a house.
28:32The court process was hell.
28:35Rafet accused Meryem in court.
28:37"He cheated on me," she said.
28:40"He didn't look after my children," she said.
28:42"Actually, he attacked me," he said.
28:45But the marks on Mary's face,
28:48her son's doctor's report and Maryam's determined stance,
28:52That was enough to convince the judge.
28:54Rafet's violence had been proven.
28:57The court granted their divorce.
28:59Custody of the children was given to Maryam.
29:01It was decided that Maryam and her children would be placed in a shelter for their safety.
29:08For Mary, this was a victory.
29:11Years of captivity had officially ended.
29:14But Rafet had no intention of accepting defeat.
29:17Accompanied by an officer appointed by the court,
29:20Mary went to that damp, dark house for the last time.
29:23She was going to collect the children's remaining belongings, their winter clothes.
29:27The police report stated that Rafet shouldn't have been home at that hour.
29:33They arrived at the door.
29:35Maryam reached for the key.
29:37Just then, her youngest son suddenly tugged at his mother's skirt.
29:42The child stared at the window in horror.
29:44"Mom!" she whispered.
29:46"Mom, please let's not go inside, Dad is inside, I saw him from the window."
29:51Maryam froze, her eyes fixed on the window.
29:54For a moment, he saw a shadow inside.
29:57He trusted his son's instincts.
29:59The child's voice, as if premonited, foretold a disaster.
30:04"Go back!" he said to the officer next to him.
30:07"Let's go immediately."
30:09They quickly moved away from the door.
30:11Just as he turned the corner, the window of that house burst open with a loud bang.
30:16Rafet was leaning halfway out of the window.
30:19A knife gleamed in his hand.
30:22He had seen them.
30:23"Maryam!" he shouted.
30:25His voice echoed throughout the entire street.
30:28"So you're back."
30:29If you had gone inside, you would have ended up six feet under.
30:32But I'm not finished with you.''
30:34Rafet shouted with hatred.
30:36"Only the dark earth can cleanse this matter."
30:39Maryam understood at that moment.
30:41If he had gone into that house, if his son hadn't warned him, he wouldn't be alive now.
30:46Rafet had laid a trap inside to snatch her away from this life.
30:50She hugged her children, trembling.
30:53But not from fear, but from the shock and anger she experienced.
30:58She looked at Rafet.
30:59He didn't avert his eyes for a single moment.
31:02There was nothing left to take from that house.
31:05Mary has no fear anymore.
31:08She turned her face away and started walking with her children towards the shelter.
31:14Rafet's threats echoed behind her, but Meryem simply looked straight ahead.
31:19There was now a woman who could stand on her own two feet, who was not afraid.
31:23And not even the dark earth could stop this woman.
31:26The refuge was a haven for Mary and her sons.
31:32Within the four walls, behind locked doors, Maryam slept for the first time in years without fear of the dark earth.
31:42Their sons also spent their first night without hearing their father's footsteps or having nightmares.
31:48But this port was temporary.
31:51Maryam couldn't live her life here.
31:54During her time in the shelter, she sat down at her sewing machine.
31:59She sewed for other women.
32:01He repaired the curtains at the shelter.
32:04He was skilled with his hands, and that was his greatest asset.
32:08The social workers she met there saw the strength within Meryem.
32:13They found him a microloan to start a small business.
32:16When Maryam left the shelter, she had a small amount of capital, her two sons, and that book.
32:23He rented a one-room shop on a small street in town.
32:27He bought a second-hand sewing machine.
32:31She hung a small sign on her door that read "Tailor Meryem".
32:34At first, nobody came.
32:36But Maryam did not give up.
32:38She opened the shop in the mornings and went to people's homes to clean in the evenings.
32:42She worked while her children were at school, and helped them with their studies in the evenings.
32:48Gradually, word began to spread throughout the town about how neat her stitching was.
32:54What started as mending torn trousers has expanded to dressmaking and even wedding dress alterations.
33:00Meryem is no longer just a seamstress,
33:03She was also becoming a woman who inspired other women in the town.
33:10Years have passed.
33:10Mary's hair turned gray.
33:14That small, one-room shop was no longer enough for him.
33:19With the money he saved, he also rented the empty warehouse next to the shop.
33:24He bought another machine.
33:26He hired a woman he met at the women's shelter to work alongside him.
33:30Their sons have grown up.
33:31The scars of the violence they had suffered at the hands of their father were still fresh.
33:36His eldest son was withdrawn.
33:38The younger one was angry.
33:39Meryem spent the money she earned not only on the house but also on healing her children's emotional wounds.
33:46He took them to a psychologist.
33:49They learned to speak as a family for the first time.
33:53They shared their pain and their fears.
33:55The wounds slowly began to scab over.
34:00Rafet?
34:01Rafet continued to threaten Meryem.
34:04He checked his street several times.
34:06But he saw that Mary was no longer alone.
34:09Maryam had women working alongside her, shopkeepers protecting her, and a community that respected her.
34:16Rafet couldn't get past that barrier.
34:18Over the years, he was consumed by alcohol and anger.
34:22He became a forgotten shadow in the town's coffeehouse.
34:26His father, Halil, was old.
34:28He had lost his strength.
34:29He watched Meryem's success from afar with anger.
34:32One day, he came to the door of his daughter's now-grown shop to ask for a loan.
34:37Maryam didn't let him in.
34:39He stood at the door.
34:40She looked into her father's cold, merciless eyes.
34:44Those eyes were now powerless.
34:46Maryam handed him some money.
34:49Not charity, but a lesson.
34:52This, he said.
34:54The final installment of what they took from me years ago.
34:57Halil took the money and quietly walked away.
35:00Today.
35:01Maryam is not in that little tailor shop.
35:04He owns a textile workshop employing 12 people.
35:08She creates her own designs and ships her goods to stores in Istanbul.
35:12Not only is she earning her own money, but she is also providing employment for 12 other women.
35:18He has a house with his own garden where he grows flowers.
35:22Their sons have graduated from university and started their own lives.
35:26He still has wounds.
35:28But those scars no longer define their identities.
35:32Meryem comes to her workshop every morning.
35:37He listens to the sound of the machines.
35:39This sound is the anthem of his victory.
35:42Sometimes he thinks about the past.
35:44Her father and her husband.
35:46He still has anger inside him.
35:48A fire that hasn't gone out despite all these years.
35:52One morning, as he looked out the window of his workshop, he thought about the miserable state of those two men.
36:01She whispered to herself.
36:02Nothing is over until I say it's over.
36:05You will be my slave at my door.
36:08This wasn't a vow of revenge, but a statement demonstrating the strength of a survivor.
36:13They were already slaves in the shadow of Mary's power.
36:18Maryam was no longer anyone's daughter, no one's wife.
36:22It now existed under its own name and with its own power.
36:26It was Mary.
36:28A woman who writes her own story.
36:31That evening, in her house in the garden, she picked up the diary she had kept for years.
36:37She had started keeping that diary at the shelter.
36:41The first pages were soaked with tears.
36:44The final pages were filled with hope.
36:47She picked up her pen and wrote a summary of years of struggle on the last page of her diary.
36:54Just one sentence.
36:56I am now a free sparrow.
36:58Yes, dear friends, we all witnessed Maryam's incredible struggle.
37:05A heart-wrenching life story that begins with captivity in her father's house, and ends in hell in her husband's house, which she thought was her escape.
37:14But most importantly, what a mother is willing to risk for her children,
37:19We saw how a woman could reweave her life with just a tiny sewing machine.
37:24Mary was reborn that day when her son said, "Mom, let's not go in, Dad is inside."
37:31She overcame her fear and flew away to become a free sparrow.
37:35So what do you think about this story of Mary?
37:39What did you think of the decisions he made and the courage he showed, and what would you have done if you were in his place?
37:45Or are you, like Mary, a free sparrow in this life?
37:49Even if that's not the case, I hope you'll soon be able to fly with your own wings, to become a free sparrow.
37:57Dear friends, from which country and city are you following us?
38:02Please be sure to write your opinions and criticisms about our story in the comments, okay?
38:08See you in the next True Story.
38:12Take care of yourselves.
38:14Goodbye, dear friends.
