Newly uncovered ISIS documents in Libya have revealed how jihadis are offering their brides dowries such as machine guns and suicide vests. Forces allied with the country's unity government discovered the documents as they searched buildings seized during a battle with the terror group in the coastal city of Sirte. The papers belonged to the ISIS 'Judicial and Complaints' department and have since been published on the pro-government forces' Facebook pages.
And many of them reveal the bizarre marriage contracts and divorce rulings that have been drawn up without any real names or personal information.
In one example from November 30, 2015, Abu Mansour, a Tunisian born in 1977, married a Nigerian called Miriam in the presence of Sudanese and Malian witnesses.
But in contrast to Islamic norms, he did not pay a dowry but instead vowed to pay compensation in the event of his death or the marriage being dissolved - in the form of a suicide belt.
Meanwhile jihadi bride Fatima from Nigeria was promised a Kalashnikov assault rifle in the case of divorce or if her husband Malian Abu Said, was to die.
ISIS took over Sirte in July 2015 and imposed a reign of terror over the the Libyan city.
New legislation also banned smoking and music, closed women's cosmetic shops, made the face-covering niqab compulsory for females and taxes were enforced across a wide range of businesses such as property rental and farming
Public killings have become a regular occurrence, with the dead - either shot or beheaded - strung up, or left to hang on ropes from beneath a bridge on the south side of Sirte.
Many families suffer the same woe when they are prevented from collecting the body of their murdered relative.
Some resort to smuggling the corpses away in the night in order to bury them.
The capture of the city has also sparked fears that jihadis would use the Mediterranean city as a springboard for attacks on Europe.
