According to a local media outlet, after overtaking Mosul in June
of 2014, ISIS militants began selecting women and girls, forcing them into
"temporary marriages." However, hundreds of women refused to comply with the
fighter's demands, and were subsequently executed, along with their
families.

"The 19 girls were burned to death, while hundreds of people were watching,"
a witness said, Fox News reports. "Nobody could do anything to save
them from the brutal punishment." "They were punished for refusing to
have sex with ISIS militants," local activist Abdullah al-Malla
added. Mosul, formerly home to thousands of Christians, is Iraq's
second-largest city and is considered to be the main stronghold for the terror
group in the region. According to a local media outlet, after overtaking
Mosul in June of 2014, ISIS militants began selecting women and girls, forcing

families. "At least 250 girls have so far been executed by the IS for
refusing to accept the practice of sexual jihad, and sometimes the families of
the girls were also executed for rejecting to submit to IS' request," Kurdish
Democratic Party spokesman Said Mamuzini told London-based Kurdish news agency
AhlulBayt earlier this year.
Another official from the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) party Ghayas
Surchi said that human rights were being widely violated in all IS-held
territories, particularly the women's rights as they are seen as commodities.
Women in such regions are not permitted to go out in public, and have no choice
in choosing their spouses. Currently, the group in Iraq and Syria is
holding 1,800 abducted women and girls, while the U.N. puts the number at 3,500
Yazidis. Some of the girls have even been put up for sale on social media
platforms, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute. "The
longer they are held by ISIS, the more horrific life becomes for Yazidi women,
bought and sold, brutally raped, their children torn from them," said Skye
Wheeler, a women's rights emergencies researcher at Human Rights Watch,
according to ARA News. Last August, 19 women in Mosul
