Bless the man who helped Betty and Mahtob escape.

[@jessicarenee7859]

Just watched the the last 30-40 mins. Her escape was absolutely nerve wreaking, she's so incredibly strong. All those people that helped her escape bless every single one of them. That man that saved her and walked her thru the desert alone, such a sweetheart. I hope she life was nothing but kind, full of love, pure bliss after coming home. She deserves nothing but good.

My friend in Manchester was married to a Saudi senior lecturer at Manchester University. They had 2 boys aged 9 and 7.He arranged for them to go to Saudi for 2 weeks in the long vacation to see his parents. He seemed to be completely westernised.At the last minute I persuaded her not to go.I took the boys to my sisters in Middleton ,while she waited at home in Salford,until he came back from his office at the University. She told him that only he and she were going to Saudi.He shouted at her,grabbed his suitcases and went out of the door to a waiting taxi. She and the boys went to her mother's home near by.Two weeks later she got a phone call .He said " I divorce you" three times.He added ,"I have married a second wife in Saudi,who is now my only wife" My friend found out that he had taken all their assets to Saudi,She had to go to Court to get an English Divorce and the right to sell their home.Amazingly the Court awarded him half the proceeds She had to pay off the mortgage and move in with her mother.All this happened in the 1990s and she has never heard of him from that day to this.

I can guarantee you that Betty does NOT regret escaping Iran with her daughter. She was a VERY brave lady, but she HAD to do it. Because it was the ONLY way she and her daughter were going to good out of THAT country They were being held against their will, they BOTH wanted to leave but they were NOT allowed to. It was either stay there and die, or escape/ or die trying to. Either way they were going to die. As it turned out, they succeed in escaping and they both outlived their captor. They were free and together.

She was told that if she and Mahtob didn't go to Iran willingly, Moody might kidnap Mahtob, take her to Iran, and then divorce Betty. And if that happened, Betty would never see Mahtob again. She made the choice to go so that if the worst happened (and it did) at least she would be there with her daughter.

There is a rebuttal from Moody on YT, made some years before he passed. Of course he denied everything and he wanted to see Matob. She refused to meet with him and I don’t blame her!

[@Rachel2412able]

Of course Moody would deny everything. He felt like he did nothing wrong. He never came to his senses.

Every American woman should watch this movie “Not Without My Daughter.” Even though this occurred 40 years ago, not much has changed.

[@aquitaineq]

The fact that men actually help these women makes me know; we are good it's just not all good is instantly visible, and some people can never be saved from being awful.

[@stefansnellgrove]

Just watched the movie never heard about this story before I was sooooo pissed when he hit the litter girl his own daughter I was pissed when he hit his wife but I was fuming out the mouth when he hit that little girl.

[@user-12Czechrepiblic]

The movie is beautiful I was cry every time I seen it

[@alejandraahmed1177]

You can also read ,”At the Drop of the Veil”. American woman married to an Arabian and her life in a more positive light.

[@user-kq1ch2ew3c]

Oh mannn… I am gradually falling in love with an Iranian man… but I changed my mind after watching not without my daughter. Terrifying

[@zsuzsamold]

You made the right decision. Forget him.

[@nodevoutt]

I wouldn't have left my daughter to grow up there either. kids depend on their parents for safety

[@ChaosElohim]

I have a friend in Iran I'm currently trying to help get them out :( they are in an abusive relationship & husband threatens to kill her :(

[@eadecamp]

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your friends. Can you keep us updated?

[@mrwersa1]

:)))))) oh my god. Write a book "Not without my Friend"

[@l.shirvanyan6161]

Bless you man ,gid bless you that you helped this woman

[@candiceloyy1967]

I'm so glad you and your daughter got away from him that monster

[@travelkookie8791]

I read this book lots of times.

[@sillycookie1982]

It's already a red flag that he dated and married a former patient. To have led to this is insane. my mum was an interpreter in Turkey for ladies from UK who's kids were kidnapped and taken there by their fathers. She was on a TV show about it on itv. It can be a real danger having children with people from ethnicities and backgrounds like this. Everything is fine as long as you get along. If you step out of line you're screwed. Not disimilar to those married to cult members etc.

Thank God they got out of that mad house and country 👏👍🙏

Unbelievable how modern and cool Iran was before 1979. They blew it big time.

My girlfriend was dating a Turkish guy in the 90’s. After reading Not without my daughter she got so scared, broke up with him and reconnected with her ex boyfriend…

Betty gave her daughter the biggest gift - her love, her freedom, and to live a own life as a woman without beeing forced in a ugly forced child marriage, honour killing, without any own rights to do and to choose her own style of working, living, clothing - what danger it is for a woman to choose her own way in iran in 2022 shows the example of a young woman - who was murdered a few days ago because she did not wear her tschador "correktly" , she dared to leave a few hairs open under her cover.....beaten to death from iranian police.....can anyone tell me that this is "normal" in any way? Betty took a big risk and I believe without any help she would not have made it back to USA at all

[@EngPheniks]

I watched that movie of "Not without my daughter", it's sad to know the state Iran has become since the Shah was overthrown.

[@Raquelwhatzhot]

This can happen to anyone. When giving any man power over a woman.

Would be awesome if Betty stayed in touch with Amal all these years.
