Amina Lehassan , a 16 years Moroccan girl raped by some asshole bastard in Tangier when she was 15 years old after she was abducted from the street. She feared to tell her mom for two months. When her mom told the Royal Gendarmerie “The police” and they told her that the case was referred to the Royal Prosecutor  in Tangier.
The Royal prosecutor ruled out that Amina should marry her rapist to hide this scandal !! Ironically the rapist and the family refused first but they agreed in the end in return of not paying a dowry. There was no wedding or anything for the little girl who just celebrated her 16th birthday.
For about 5 months Amina lived in hell at her husband/rapist house , she suffered from ill treatment and constant beating. Amina tried to leave her rapist hubby’s house but her mom used to tell her that she should not leave her hubby’s house !! Amina went to the police beaten asking for help but they told her to ask for the help of the Royal Prosecutor “Who forced her in to that marriage in the first place” and to bring a medical report for her condition. The police did not help thus Amina began to think about plan to grab the people’s attention.
While she was out with her rapist hubby in the market, she took poisonous pills used to kill mice. She fainted at the market , her hubby left her as expected to die. The police came and ordered an ambulance but it was too late. Amina died.
Her parents say that she did not intend to kill herself but she wanted help according to the police that talked to the poor dying girl.
This is in nutshell the story behind that famous #RIPAmina hashtag suddenly appeared among all the political hashtags n the Arab region.
The suicide of Amina is causing a lot of controversy in Morocco , many Moroccan from what I see online whether on twitter of FB or Moroccan websites are extremely for her death and her forced marriage.
The minister of family and solidarity Basima Hakaawy commented on the incident saying that it is time to deal with the matter attributing the matter to family’s honor and how families accept that sort of dirty settlement. Well madam minister the problem is not only in the families but as in the royal prosecutor of Tangier !! 
Amina Lehassan May Allah bless her soul is not the first nor the last Arab girl to be forced to marry her rapist in the Arab world.
Marrying the rapist for fear the scandal was and has been the easiest dirty solution in front of Arab families as well the lazy police force that does not want to do its job or even worse a police force that thinks it is the mistake of the girl !!!!
Marrying the rapist is actually a punishment to the girl and to the woman and yet in our Arab world some families think that it is better than scandal !! Well I hope the family of Amina and that judge are happy now.
I wonder how many girl suffered because of that judge , in fact I wonder about his judgment and his past rules not only involving raped girls but all humans in general !!!  
RIP Amina , you will not be the first nor the last.

So I have just known that there is a Turkish TV series called "Fatimah" where Fatimah, the heroine is raped by 4 young men and she is forced to marry one of them !! The girls in Egypt and the Arab world like the guy who raped and married Fatimah coz he is cute , they even feel sorry for him !!
Of course in the end he will turn out to be innocent from her rape but they do not know this yet !! Oh yes this is spoiler , I am speaking here about the principle itself.
