However, 30 years ago, her life took a horrifying turn when she was tortured, rendered unconscious, and then sold to traffickers across the border in India. For a long time, Rezia was believed to be dead by her family, friends, and neighbours. Rezia's ordeal began at the age of 15 when her family married her off to Sattar Ali from Garabaria village in Gangni Upazila. After divorcing Sattar, she married Azghar Ali from her own village, but the marriage turned abusive. Public Prosecutor AKM Asaduzzaman said that, if proven guilty, the suspects could face death sentences or life imprisonment in Rezia's trafficking case.
