Woman who married into traveller family cannot leave home without her husband

A woman who got married to a man in one of the most high-profile traveller communities has shared how she had to leave her old life behind, and cannot leave her home without her husband.

The pair abide by a more traditional type of family, Holly Joyce needs to follow her husband rules, or "what he says goes" type of attitude, reports the Daily Record. 27-year-old Holly met Dougie, 34, on social media platform Instagram back in September 2019.

The pair conversed casually over the platform, before they met in March 2020 at San Carlo's restaurant in Manchester. Dougie was convinced after a few hours that he knew he would "marry this woman".
