"She is married with two children, a girl and a boy. Going to law school was her childhood dream. “There are those who accept me as a Sharia lawyer, and others who condemn it and believe that a woman should stay at home. Today, I’m proud to see women specializing in law and girls dreaming of studying it," she says. “Mostly, women who have been ill-treated say they feel confident and comfortable talking to me, as no one can understand the feelings of a woman better than a woman like herself,” she says. “A few days ago, an 18-year-old came to thank me after regaining custody of her son. I was glad to hear the news of her return to university. Such experiences fill me with endless joy.”"
