Mariam was married before the Great War. She and her husband were living in the same house as her parents, two brothers and five sisters. One day they were attacked by Kurds, who killed all their relatives. Mariam and her husband succeeded in fleeing in the mountains, where they hid themselves for a long time. Then they went to Farkin, where a Turk took Mariam to his house. Her husband disappeared. Mariam fled to Diarbekir where friends took her in. One day her husband arrived. Two years after he was taken as a soldier, he ran away and reached Diarbekir. He was very ill and died after a fortnight. 

            Newly Mariam and her son arrived in Aleppo.
