            Mennoush was exiled with her parents. When the caravan reached Mardin, a Turk wanted to drag her away, her parents defended their child, but alas, in this way they gave up their life. The unhappy girl remained at the mercy of this brutal man, who after keeping her for some years sold to an Arab. This latter married her to an Armenian whom he had kept as a slave in his house. She lived three years with her husband, both of them were working for their master. One day her husband fell ill and died. Mennoush disgusted with her life, fled and reached Ras-el-Ain whence by our agent she was sent to us.
