Newly
uncovered ISIS documents in Libya have revealed how jihadis are offering
their brides dowries such as machine guns and suicide vests.
Forces
allied with the country's unity government discovered the documents as
they searched buildings seized during a battle with the terror group in
the coastal city of Sirte.
The
papers belonged to the ISIS 'Judicial and Complaints' department and
have since been published on the pro-government forces' Facebook pages
And many of
them reveal the bizarre marriage contracts and divorce rulings that have
been drawn up without any real names or personal information.
In
one example from November 30, 2015, Abu Mansour, a Tunisian born in
1977, married a Nigerian called Miriam in the presence of Sudanese and
Malian witnesses.
But
in contrast to Islamic norms, he did not pay a dowry but instead vowed
to pay compensation in the event of his death or the marriage being
dissolved - in the form of a suicide belt.
Meanwhile
jihadi bride Fatima from Nigeria was promised a Kalashnikov assault
rifle in the case of divorce or if her husband Malian Abu Said, was to
die.
ISIS took over Sirte in July 2015 and imposed a reign of terror over the the Libyan city.
New
legislation also banned smoking and music, closed women's cosmetic
shops, made the face-covering niqab compulsory for females and taxes
were enforced across a wide range of businesses such as property rental
and farming.

The capture of the city has also
sparked fears that jihadis would use the Mediterranean city as a
springboard for attacks on Europe. Pictured are Libyan government

Public
killings have become a regular occurrence, with the dead - either shot
or beheaded - strung up, or left to hang on ropes from beneath a bridge
on the south side of Sirte.
Many families suffer the same woe when they are prevented from collecting the body of their murdered relative.
Some resort to smuggling the corpses away in the night in order to bury them.
