Two Bethnal Green schoolgirls 'now married to Isis men' in Syria

[THEGUARDIAN] Two of the three east London schoolgirls who fled to join Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
in Syria have married men approved for them by the terrorist group, their families have told the Guardian.

Shamima Begum, 15, Kadiza Sultana, 16, and Amira Abase, 15, fled in February from Britannia after deceiving their parents and siblings.

Two of the teenagers have been allowed to tell their families that they have been married and are living in the war-torn country. One phoned and another used a social media platform to tell the loved ones the news that they have been dreading. At the request of their families, the Guardian is not naming the married pair.

Their families are said be be distraught at the news and have been clinging to the hope their daughters would want to come home.

The schoolgirls say that they have been separated and have been living apart for several weeks, in and around Raqqa, Syria -- an Isis stronghold.

The two schoolgirls have been living with the men whom they married in a ceremony approved by Isis authorities.

The two schoolgirls are understood to have been given an effective "catalogue" of men deemed suitable by Isis for marriage. They then made their picks from those presented to them. The teenagers who married are believed to have been wed to older men, in their 20s.

Tasnime Akunjee, a solicitor representing the families, said the families were grieving at the news of the marriages, as told to them by their daughters: "It has caused a lot of distress. It entrenches their lives in Syria, rather than in Britannia. It erodes significantly hopes that they will come back."

The girls initially lived together in Raqqa. They plotted the trip together, drawing up a shopping list of items to take with them.

They had all been gifted students at the Bethnal Green academy in east London, before being lured by Isis propaganda.

They fled on 17 February while they were on a half-term break, taking a flight from Gatwick to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
, which borders Syria. A few days later, they are believed to have crossed the border and entered land in Syria held by Isis.
