that the number of females in universities increased, especially after some Turkish universities opened several educational branches in the areas controlled by the National Army. But the situation differs in the city of Raqqa, where there are no Universities, so those who wish to complete their university education can enroll in universities located in and affiliated with the regime’s regions, given that they are not on the lists of those wanted for arrest by the Syrian regime. Education 1 = Very Bad 5 = Very Good Before the revolution During the revolution Al-Bab During ISIS After ISIS Al-Raqqa 37 | Early and forced marriages HUMANS WITHOUT RIGHTS The problem of early and forced marriage was not new to the Syrian society as a whole, and this problem is related to the customs and traditions in the society in which the girl lives like other social problems. However, the security tension that dominated the two cities after the start of the revolution and the fear of a regime invasion increased the percentage of early and forced marriage among families. Then, in the period of “ISIS” control, the matter was completely different, as ISIS members used their influence to pressure families to marry their daughters, forcing some of them to force their daughters to marry their relatives without considering the girl’s basic rights, for fear whoever marries her to a foreign or Syrian fighter from the organization. On the other hand, many fathers hurried to marry off their daughters to fighters, convinced of the belief promoted by the organization or to gain protection, power and privileges, which led to a significant increase in the rate of minors marriage during that period. Soon those percentages decreased dramatically in the two cities after the liberation, with the exception of some families that still adhere to the provisions of the organization or the old customs that require marriage for a girl at an early age.
