SHARE Sara* went from being a passionate newlywed, who fought everything and everyone around her in the name of love, to becoming a victim of violence within a matter of months. Unfortunately, this Lebanese woman's story is not uncommon. Married for four months and beaten three times, Sara describes walking into a trap “with her own two feet” and ending up in a marriage that is the opposite of what she envisioned. She sought safety and support from her family but was met by a wall of silence, a wall they wished to hide behind for fear of societal judgment.
