Teenagers Amira Abase, Kadiza Sultana, and Shamima Begum traveled to Syria in February 2015. The last time their parents heard from them, the girls said that bombs were exploding nearby, their communications could be disrupted, and that they had gotten married, according to Tasnime Akunjee, a lawyer representing two of the families.

All three of the girls married men approved by the terrorist group, with two of them becoming widows within months, the families were also told.
Amira married an Australian jihadi who was killed in combat, while Kadiza's new husband also died. "We think they married after two months of going in," Akunjee said.
At least two of the teenagers are believed to have been wed to older men, in their 20s, one of whom is a Canadian national.
Akunjee added that communication was not easy in the de facto IS capital of Raqqa, saying that the group had put out an edict in the city where GPS circuits had to be taken out of cell phones and that communication had to be made by Wi-Fi at internet cafes.
