“My husband sleeps with our own daughter”

“I am a woman who did not go to school. I have been married for years and have children. With my husband, our beginnings were years of struggle and I supported him as best as I could. Today he is fine with his house, he travels all the time and I stay at home looking after the children.

But I live a real ordeal. I found out that my husband is sleeping with our first daughter who is sixteen and is in third grade. The girl we both gave birth to. I find that abnormal, but he went so far as to turn my own daughter against me and she tells me that I am jealous of her, me her mother. In my own home, I have become the laughing stock of everyone. My husband takes our daughter; they go on weekends, on trips...

I feel sick. But when I speak, he tells me that this is what his Religious Guide told him to do and that I should accept all of this if I don't want to live miserably. I filed a complaint against him for what he is doing with the little one, but when we were called at the police, he said that he no longer loved me, that I knew it and that I was talking nonsense about him, I was making him look like dirt. I'm afraid I would like to leave this home, but after all these years, is it a good idea? What to do? I specify that we are Muslims.”
