First of all, in cases where women are trapped by arab husbands, when they are first captured they are locked in their homes and unable to leave. They are literally locked in 24/7 with no phone or other communication with the outside world. They are told that if they try to escape they will be killed. It is virtually impossible to escape from an Arab village without outside help because even if she could escape the locked house, there are nopolice or Jews anywhere, only Arabs who will recapture her. During this time she is locked up she is subjected to constant beatings etc. The husbands often hand over the keys to the house to other Arabs in exchange for money, so those men can come and use her for their purposes.
Once the women have children, they are allowed out of the house, but never with their children. The children are the bargaining chip. They are told that if they try to run away or contact the police they will be killed. This is why the vast majority of women who do make it to the Yad L’achim safehouses only make it out after a few years and only without their children.

I hope this clears up your misconceptions about the women’s ability to leave.
With regard to your statements that these women are all secular and marrying criminals etc it should be noted that many of these girls are not even aware that they are marrying arabs and certainly not sware of their husbands true nature. Many of these men will wear yarmulkes, and even make brachos over food in order to convince the girls that they are Jewish! Also, keep in mind that these girls are usually quite young (15-18 years old) – imagine a girl who is basically a good girl but is going through a tough time (sickness, in the family, financal trouble in the family, trouble making friends etc). one night she comes to a local pizza shop/bagel store/makolet. The boy behind the counter is friendly to her, offers her a free slice of pizza etc. Soon she starts talking to him etc. I understand that we would expect a good bais yaakov girl to ignore him but not every 15 year old girl is perfect. Then one day he gets her into his car and tells her his name isn’t really Dovid, it’s Ahmed and he drives her back to his village and forced her into a life of abuse, cruelty, and horrible aveiros as descibed in this article. Do you really believe that she deserves this?
How can you not have compassion on such a person living their life in captivity every day having to choose between seeing her children again and gaining her own freedom? And if this was happening in Brooklyn can you imagine what kind of uproar there would be (even if they only captured girls off the derech etc).
All this information is verifiable. Just call Yad L’achim and see for yourself. and until then, please stop judging people until you at least know what you are talking about

They *are* held against their will. Locked up or tied up in Arab villages far far far away from any Israeli policeman. Beaten and abused. During the day, she cannot escape. At night, Arab women are not permitted outdoors without an escort. If she would escape, she would be noticed.

It unfortunately happens. The frum girls are often girls with some difficult or problematic background. Girl meets Arab who gives her time, presents, sweet talk and caring. Things she may be sorely lacking from another source. After a year or two she is convinced he cares for her and runs off with him. Once he has her, the treatment changes drastically.

But don’t pretend they are all innocent. They themselves made a choice out of their own free will to get involved with these people and then to live with them and marry them. One who makes stupid decisions can suffer consequences.

This really doesn’t happen by accident. A (frum) Jewish girl is not going to ‘accidentally’ get involved with an Arab and then MOVE IN WITH HIM and MARRY HIM and CONVERT TO ISLAM. Those are not things one does accidentally or without thinking. Those are conscious decisions one makes, and if one makes those decisions without considering the consequences then one has a mental problem.

As akuperma says: “But this racist nonsense of evil Arabs grabbing frum girls is absurd.”

And this being held against will is absurd – all she had to do is find a policeman (there are plenty) and slap him – she would be arrested, taken to the station and explain she had been kidnapped.

She is now a B.T. which is good. But this racist nonsense of evil Arabs grabbing frum girls is absurd.
