Obeidi corrects him: "Most women are liars."
But Heydar Jaffer al-Taie knows a different story. Since last May, he has been making the rounds of the morgues every week, looking for his younger sister, Beda, 17.
"I know what kind of sister I had," he says. "We have a good reputation."
A serious-looking girl with large green eyes, she disappeared on her way to school. Taie and his brothers have traveled to hospitals across the country, handed out hundreds of leaflets, and offered to pay criminals to bring her back, but there has been no trace of Beda.
