Noura Hussein, a 19-year-old Sudanese woman, was sentenced to death by a court for stabbing her husband to death after he raped her.

The death penalty for Hussein was confirmed by a judge on Thursday after her husband’s family rejected financial compensation and insisted on retribution.

“The husband’s family received the verdict with claps of joy and cheering,” said Amal Habani, a Sudanese journalist and women’s rights activist who attended the hearing in Omdurman, Sudan’s second-largest city.

“But for Hussein’s supporters at the courtroom, the news was very distressing,” Habani told Al Jazeera.

Hussein’s legal team has 15 days to appeal the death sentence.

According to another human rights activist who also attended the hearing, large crowds of supporters for Hussein gathered outside the court to protest the verdict, but police violently dispersed them.

“People protested carrying signs and posters to show their disapproval of the verdict,” said Rasha Abualayla. “But the police snatched the posters out of their hands and even started beating some of them.”

Rights activists have campaigned on behalf of Hussein on social media and a #JusticeForNoura hashtag has trended on Twitter.

At 16, Hussein was forced by her parents to marry her cousin, according to activists.

According to members of the #JusticeForNoura campaign, Hussein was forced to sign the marriage contract in 2014. She then fled to a relative’s house in eastern Sudan before the wedding ceremony was completed.

Her father allegedly tricked her into returning to her husband. After six days of Hussein refusing his advances, he raped her with the help of family members who held her down, supporters say.

“She would not have sex with the man,” Sarah ElHasan, a rights activist, told Al Jazeera. “He recruited some of his cousins and brought them [to his] home where they held her down while her husband raped her.”

When Hussein’s husband attempted to rape her again, she stabbed him to death before returning to her family, who then handed her over to police.

“We will try to appeal the decision in the next 15 days … We are hopeful that it will be possible,” said a member of Hussein’s legal team, who asked not to be named because of the case’s sensitivity.

“Noura had lots of problems in her life and marriage, which should be taken into consideration We are working on getting the judge to see those sides of the case.”

According to Habani, forced and child marriages in Sudan are an ongoing issue women’s rights activists have been trying to address.

“Like Noura, who was only a child when she got married, there are many child marriages and forced marriages in Sudan. The law doesn’t see that as illegal and neither does it consider marital rape so,” explained Habani.

“Noura faced a lot of violence from her family to marry a man she rejected from the start. Then, she was beaten into submission by his family to consummate the marriage. Noura was a victim before she became a criminal. She shouldn’t have been handed down a death penalty.”
