ALSO READ: Teary reunion for two pilotsAluel had experienced a relatively normal life growing up in South Sudan. The firstborn and only girl in a family of three boys, Aluel’s parents had treated her just as they did their sons, even giving her an education. It was agreed that the man would marry Aluel and give her parents 150 cows as bride price. When Aluel’s parents asked her to marry the old man, she called her fiancé, who then sent her money for airfare and a visa to Kenya. Aluel’s relatives say they wonder why Interpol went ahead and arrested her if she had been kidnapped as they claim.
