The Three Concrete Walls: Rahma's Confession, Child Abandonment, and the Legal Obliteration That Led to Murder

Rahma was a young woman whose life spiraled into tragedy after a series of betrayals and hardships. Following her father’s death, her mother abandoned her, forcing Rahma to work and live on her own at just seventeen. In this vulnerable state, she became involved with two men — Hussein and Al-Mu’allem Subhi — who exploited her. She endured a non-consensual relationship, was denied paternity recognition for her child, and faced outright refusal from both men to legitimize her baby. With no support, Rahma was unable to secure a birth certificate or even vaccinations for her infant son. Under crushing psychological and financial strain, she ultimately killed her six-month-old baby, then turned herself in to the police. Her case is often seen as the story of a young woman who, after repeated abandonment and exploitation, became both a victim of her circumstances and the perpetrator of a heartbreaking crime.
