Quebec woman who married ISIL fighter pleads guilty to supporting terror group
July 22, 2025
A Quebec woman who travelled to Syria to join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, and marry one of its fighters, has pleaded guilty to one count of participating in the activities of a terrorist group.
A Quebec court judge agreed to a joint submission from the federal Crown and lawyers for Oumaima Chouay – she will serve one day in custody in addition to the 110 days she spent in pretrial detention, and be on probation for three years. As part of her guilty plea, three other terror-related charges were stayed.
Federal prosecutors say Chouay is the first person convicted in Canada for providing support to a terror group by marrying a fighter.
