Lian.

42.

Never had children because her husband was sterile.

She married, when she was 18, through an arranged marriage.

2 years later she and her husband decided to run away from their, overbearing, families.

They divorced as soon as they could. Shortly after the divorce he had to go back because both of his parents died and there was no one else to take care of his younger siblings.

Despite being forced to marry each other they didn't hate each other. He was a very kind man and treated her better than her parents ever did. Things never would have worked out between them anyway. He is gay.

She never bothered looking for another husband, instead concentrating on doing something her parents prohibited her to do. Studying.

She got her Ph.D. in linguistics in just 6 years. From the time she started studying linguistics to receiving her Doctorate.

She has worked for some of the largest dictionaries in the world, as she is fluent in 7 languages, and for some of the biggest universities, translating ancient texts.

Now she is pretty much retired, after writing a lot of different books about languages, and spends a lot of her time volunteering at community centers teaching kids.
