Two of the three girls are thought to have been allowed to contact their families and pass on the news

The families of the British schoolgirls who fled to join Isis in Syria have reportedly been told that two of the three girls are married.

Two of the three girls have recently reached out to their families that to break the news that they are living around Isis stronghold Raqqa with men who had been approved for them by the terrorist group, the Guardian has learnt.

Shamima Begum, 15, Kadiza Sultana, 16, America Abase, 15, were friends at Bethnal Green Academy in east London. They plotted their journey together and left Britain during the half term holidays on February 17 – much to the distress of their loved ones.

It is not known which of the three girls had reached out, as their families approached the Guardian with the news but asked for their names not to be specified. They are said to be distraught by their radicalised daughters’ embedding into the regime.

According to the paper, the married schoolgirls partook in an Isis-approved wedding ceremony. One of the new brides rang her family and the other used social media to pass on the news.

They are thought to have picked their jihadi husbands from what the Guardian described as a “catalogue” of suitable men in their twenties.
