A Sudanese teenager has been sentenced to death for murder after she killed her rapist husband.
Noura Hussein was forced into a marriage by her family when she was 16 and unhappy with her marriage, she run away to stay with an uncle who sheltered her.
However, three years later her family managed to find a way to lure her out and then delivered her to her husband, who enlisted the help of his family members to hold his wife down whilst he raped her.
The next day he tried to rape her once again but this time she lashed out at him with a knife which killed him.
She run home to her family after the incident but they turned her over to the authorities, and her case has now been adjudicated.
The trial judge gave the husband’s family an option to accept financial restitution for his death but they insisted on the death penalty, which was thus handed down to Hussein.
