On November 6, Ajak Mabior, 18, was beaten to death in Jonglei state, South Sudan, after refusing to marry an older Muslim man. The young Christian woman opposed the arranged marriage due to her faith and her unwillingness to be forced into the union.

After attempting to escape the arrangement, Mabior was attacked and killed by her own brother and cousin. The incident took place in Jonglei state and sparked widespread concern among local Christian congregations.
