What if they refuse to marry her off for nothing? They are not being told that she is beautiful, she is not their daughter? They must have invested in her."
"''hmmm, by God your water is ruined, and the water will be a disgrace in this house, in a jury, to the stream with a pitcher to fetch water''
Everyone was listening to what they were saying, even her mother, who, if they were new, would have been used to it, saying that no one would be able to help them. She found her mother in the crowd, apparently the noon prayer was about to begin. So she washed her bag, put it on the chair, along with her hijab, and went back to the courtyard to perform ablution. When she finished, her ablution did not stop while we were still in their courtyards. No one raised her head to look at them, despite the pain in her heart. She put on her slippers, tied her ablution, and intended to enter their tent.
Isyaku went to my mother's house, Hadiza ran up to her, holding her hand, her bowl full of rice. She didn't notice him, she felt him following her skirt and her legs. She quickly looked at the boy who was standing there staring at her and said, “Hey, Isyaku, why can't you walk slowly?”
He twisted his mouth and glared at her.

The bridge is approaching, which is similar to the entrance of Malam Mamuda into the house.
''Are you okay?''
"Oh, my dear, may God have brought you here. By God, we are tired of this adultery between us. She is not married, she is not a prostitute. Is she enough for us and our children?" she said with a sigh.
''So what happened now?''
“This little boy is so stupid that he slapped her just because he didn't know it, by God I won't accept it, whether he gets revenge or I get revenge myself.”
''You are my brother, why are you like this?''
''I don't know, Dad, and I'm sorry, I'll take revenge''
''You *Mary* are impatient''
There's no way she can do that, she said, “Be patient.”
He also vowed to take revenge, and his mother's anger persuaded him to be patient.
Tears were streaming down her cheeks as she entered their room. Mama was sitting on the mat, not moving or speaking a word during the conversation. She didn't say a word to Maryam, just as she didn't say anything to him. She took a mat from
