A time honored method used by catholics for a period of more than 500 years, since the fall of Andalusia and the rize of the Ottoman empire, was to return all women who refused to abandon even minor vestages of islamic belief over to Arab and Turk slavers. The more islam they could remember, the worse they would fare, because they would never turn them over still verign, nor would they tell them anything truthful about their origins. The stronger they would protest the worse they would sink.
This happened to my granmother. When she first married, she was happy with her exciting new life. She became very social and did enjoy herself a lot. But when the children were born she became unhappy about the things her husband was teaching them and they often fought.
One day he told everyone she had died. The night he said she died a vessel set out from scicily to the Arab lands.
When her brothers came to ask for her body to be laid to rest with her family they were refused an audience with her husband who never spoke to them again nor responded to letters. An official inquiry from the government found no implications of wrong doing on the husband.
