Mosul (IraqiNews.com) ISIL terrorists have reportedly coerced an Iraqi family in the militant-controlled city of Mosul into making their daughter separate from her Shia Muslim husband.

According to reports, Salama al-Khafaji, a member of the High Commission for Human Rights in Iraq, said ISIL have held a court session and ruled that the Iraqi family should force their daughter and her husband to divorce because the man came from Iraq’s Shabak Shia community.

The terrorists have claimed the formation of a so-called Islamic caliphate or state and declared the terrorist group’s leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as “the caliph” and “leader of Muslims everywhere.”

Many Sunni and Shia leaders worldwide have condemned the ISIL.

Violence in Iraq escalated after the ISIL took control of large swathes Iraq, including a number of key cities last month. ISIL took control of Mosul, the capital of Nineveh Province, on June 10.
