* UPDATED CAPTION. She just married last friday...to a Jordanian man. She celebrated in same way, with gifts of lingerie like the one she donned here of her sister. Hala tries on her younger sister's wedding lingerie, jokingly placing a scarf on her face as she poses. Hala, 19, divorced her husband after only 25 days, forced to marry her abusive cousin after her father was killed. Her 17-year-old sister was recently married to an older Syrian after meeting him three times in two weeks. ?Do not expect me to get married like my sister. I want someone to fall in love with,O Hala had insisted at the start of summer. By the end of summer, she was considering a proposal from a Saudi who she had yet to meet in person, tired of spending her days ?counting antsO in the same apartment day in and day out. The Syrian ?Wives of MartyrsO are struggling to find a sense of normalcy in the dusty Jordanian border town of Ramtha, painfully close to the home and life they once had in Deraa. The burdens of violence are present in their scant belongings, heavy mementos to remind themselves of those they lost in the war. Digital era lockets: cherished cell phone images of dead fathers, husbands, and brothers lost to Syria's bloody uprising. ?Tomorrow there will be apricotsO is a popular proverb in the Levant, which means, ?Tomorrow never comes.O I first met many of these women in 2012 when their husbands and fathers were still alive, fighting for the FSA. The photos explore intimacies of everyday life of four families headed by wives who have lost their fighter husbands to the civil war. They show the quiet celebrations and daydreams of the wives and daughters of martyrs who now live in a building donated by a Qatari patron, despite traditions that frown upon displays of joy for single women, who are already caught in a vicious cycle of poverty, isolation, and anxiety.
