«Mariée de force» is Leila's testimony, published by J'ai lu in paperback (253 pages, in French).
Leila, a French woman born to Moroccan immigrants and raised in a strict Muslim tradition, recounts her rebellion against a submissive mother and ten siblings. After several suicide attempts, her father forces her into marriage; anorexia and depression mark her married life. She denounces that in France over 50,000 young people have suffered forced marriages.
The text features the collaboration of Marie-Thérèse Cuny and was first published in 2004. The cover presents it as a 'récit', with the tagline 'Pour la première fois, une femme témoigne'.
For readers interested in memoirs and testimonies about identity, migration, and women's rights, with a social perspective.
