The children are taught the Quran and other religious texts from a young age.
Education is highly valued, and even the girls are encouraged to pursue higher education.
The girls reach puberty around the age of nine and are married off, but Aysha’s marriage was postponed due to her desire for further education, which caused tension between her and her family.
