About the Author
Aklima Bibi
I am a single mother and grandmother in my 50s, living in Luton. I am the first woman to win domestic violence and bigamy case in a sharia court in Bangladesh, against my British husband. Despite being prevented from education during my earlier life, I am now the highest qualified member of my entire family, both immediate and extended – even amongst the male family members. Female family members in my generation did not even have a chance to an education. After many obstacles, I am amongst the first of them. My passion for writing has lead me to turn my notes for medical professionals into this book, which in return has provided a healing process for me. I am hoping that this book will educate, inspire and empower many others.

My Book 'Londoni Bride'
A shocking memoir of modern-day slavery, of girls sold into the marriage market for visas and subjected to abuse, rape and torture in the name of honour. Aklima was engaged at 9, forced to marry while still a teenager, drugged and raped. A British citizen she was simply a commodity in the international trade of visas. She is a warrior, dubbed the British Bandit Queen for having fought off an honour-based mob attack while in Bangladesh and a contract killing. Aklima has survived years of abuse to not only tell her story, but change the circle of abuse for other women who don’t have a voice, through her work as an activist.
