ABSTRACT: This article describes the story of six Druze women from
various ages, who were born in Syria and had married Druze men from the Golan Height,
under the Israeli rule. These marriages had created a separation between the women
and their family in Syria, and in some
cases the separation was total and the women ceased seeing or meeting their families at all. Israel and Syria do not have
diplomatic relations; in fact, they are considered enemies. This article displays
the problems the Druze women to face, as well as to cope with the new society on
the Israeli side.
