Tammi's father married while visiting America. During his sixth year in America, Tammi's father married his mother... an American. Before leaving Afghanistan, he had signed a contract that he would not marry a foreigner, something that was also prohibited in the Afgan constitution, As soon as he married, he was immediately recalled home, and his education was cut short.
