Indeed it is sad. Cultural difference or no it's hard to convince someone that a different way of life than the one they were reaised in is any better that what they now know.
That woman was brought up in a culture that perpetuates that kind of treatment of women. She has no way of knowing what the rest of the world thinks. She is probably uneducated and now allowed out of the house without a chaperone.
Sad... very sad.
