Toga Quote by Kenizé Mourad
““Uspomena na njihovu kćer je sveta, a njeno junaštvo čisti od grijeha sedam prethodnih i sljedećih generacija. Poreći da se dobrovoljno žrtvivala značilo bi izgubiti slavu i priznati da je bila loša supruga. To bi narušilo ugled porodice. U našim selima ne mogu se nekažnjeno kršiti zakoni zajednice, čak ako je pravo na vašoj strani. .. Bilo bi suviše jednostavno kada bi postojao izbor izmedju dobra i zla! U danima nakon satija i neuspjele istrage amira će obuzeti mračna tuga.””
