For years he had endured violence and fear. Then her husband and mother began to talk about the possibility of bringing the child to Egypt to submit it to female genital mutilation.
It was then that Yasmine Mohammed understood that he could not stay.
According to the story that made public in the years, Yasmine had been forced to marry Essam Marzouk, a man tied to al-Qaeda environments, and describes that marriage as deeply abusive.
He told him that he had suffered sexual assaults and violence and that he had also been imprisoned with religious justifications that he received within his family.
Then his daughter was born.
And something changed.
When she began to fear that the child could be brought to Egypt to undergo female genital mutilation, the matter was no longer just about what Yasmine was willing to bear personally.
It was about what would allow it to happen to your daughter.
He decided to leave.
That escape would become the turning point of his life.
In the following years Yasmine Mohammed has publicly told his experience, he has become author and activist, concentrating part of his work on forced marriages, religious extremism and the condition of people seeking to escape coercive family contexts.
Its history touches a delicate but fundamental boundary.
Religious freedom protects the right of a person to believe, practice a faith or abandon it.
But he cannot transform himself into the right to force someone else to marry, accept violence or suffer practices on his own body against his will.
And that's where things like Yasmine's take a broader meaning.
Protecting a girl from forced marriage or abuse does not mean judging an entire religion or community.
It means recognizing that consent, personal security and physical integrity must always be the person directly involved.
Yasmine tells us she fled to break a chain she feared could reach her daughter.
Sometimes the most difficult gesture is not to resist a day yet.
It is decided that violence must stop with you.
