Two former IS brides are charged with abusing children in Syria, as U.S. courts pursue accountability for wartime crimes.

Two women linked to the Islamic State are facing allegations of child abuse, according to recent legal filings in a U.S. court. The charges stem from claims that the women, who were once brides to IS fighters, subjected minors to physical and psychological harm while living under the group’s control in Syria. The case highlights ongoing legal efforts to hold former IS affiliates accountable for crimes committed during the group’s territorial rule.
