ISIS leaders in Mosul, Iraq, had ordered the women to accept temporary marriage to its warped jihadis.

But the women were murdered alongside their families when they refused.

A Kurdish official said that the women – who were already prohibited from going out alone – had not been allowed to choose their spouses.

The senseless killings follow a spate of similar executions last August, which saw 19 Mosul women slaughtered for refusing to have sex with ISIS fighters.
