Author:

Now free after being abducted by the terrorist group Boko Haram 10 years ago, some of the young Nigerian women who were kidnapped are now married, with government permission, to the militants who held them in captivity.

A number of the former captives—kidnapped as girls but are now grown women—say they are happy with their husbands and new life. Their parents, however, are left heartbroken again.
