Egypt warns women against marrying ISIS fighters online

Egypt's state-sponsored Islamic authority warned women Wednesday against marrying fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) group online, saying such unions would push them into a “circle of terrorism.”

Dar al-Ifta, the body that issues rulings on Islamic sharia law, said it made the warning after noticing several ISIS calls on social networks for girls to marry its jihadists “through video conferences.”

“Dar al-Ifta warns girls from adhering to these calls that go against sharia,” a statement said.
