This is so important. It wouldn't have mattered what citizenship you have. As soon as as woman sets foot on certain foreign soils, she's regarded as property.
I am so sorry for your loss. Sadly, she is among MANY women who have experienced this. (I read "Not Without My Daughter" and the book that Betty Mahmoody published afterwards...I think it was called "For the Love of a Child"). There were French women, German women, etc., all stuck in countries that didn't recognize their citizenship. They were "property" of their husbands.
