It is three days since Aminah, 27, from Idlib in Syria, first met her 43-year-old Turkish husband-to-be through a matchmaker. He divorced his first wife and wanted to marry again, Aminah says timidly. He has a house and a job in Ankara. My family in Syria has nothing left. He will provide for me. Her fiance, a businessman from Ankara, paid about 3,000 Turkish lira (£828) for the introduction to his bride, plus 5,000TL for expenses. The couple communicate through a translator. He will learn Arabic, Aminah says. Is she looking forward to her new home in the Turkish capital? She shrugs. I am happy, I guess. I dont know. theguardian/world/2014/sep/08/syrian-refugee-brides-turkish-husbands-marriage
