Mayrig with her parents, one brother and one sister were exiled in the direction of Mosoul.

            On the road her father was killed, her mother was taken by the Arabs and brother fled away in order to save his life. She, with her sister reached Mosoul, where the caravan encamped outside the city. Being by and by exposed to the attacks of Arabs and Kürds she and her sister came into the possession of the Kürds.

            Mayrig lived 12 years with a  man named Sultan-el-Ali who belonged to the tribe 'Djebour'.
