Welcome to Unfiltered Stories. Today, our guest Fraidy Reiss shares her life story with us. Raised in a Haredi Jewish community, she was arranged to be married to a man she had known for three months when she was just 19 years old. Her former husband displayed numerous alarming behaviors, including threats to her life and violence. Through unwavering courage and sheer determination, she managed to get out of her toxic forced marriage. She now leads a survivor-led nonprofit organization called "Unchained At Last", dedicated to eradicating forced and child marriages within the United States. #forcedmarriage#arrangedmarriage#womenempowerment
