The former female member of the Church unified, the organization was noticed after the assassination of Mr. Abe, said she had experienced two bad marriages arranged by the sect.

The national network of lawyers against spiritual business, organizing the protection of victims in fraudulent incidents of religious activities variable in Japan, on July 12 to hold a press conference in Tokyo, a few days later.

During the press conference, a woman over 40 years old said that her mother was a unified Church and she was forced to participate.

Hiroshi Watanabe, representative of the national network of lawyers against spiritual business in Japan, held the Saint of the Church unified at the press conference on July 12 in Tokyo.

The woman said her mother joined the temple when she was in high school.

In 1995, the woman, at the age of 21, participated in the collective wedding ceremony organized by the sect.

Not long after returning to the house, the husband began to beat her.

It was not until the mother witnessed her son -in -law assaulting her daughter, and she allowed her to divorce.

The sect preaches that you cannot go to heaven if you don't get married.

In the second marriage, she moved to Korea to live with her husband but not escaped from the network of the Church.

The woman returned to Japan in 2013. She said that although she had escaped the organization, she could not share the turbulent past with anyone, because she was guilty of the relationship with the Church.

The National Lawyer Association against the Spiritual Business said that they received many complaints from the former unified Church member throughout Japan.

As of last year, the Lawyer Association was consulting 47 cases, with a total value of damaged assets about 331.53 million yen (2.38 million USD).

The Lawyers' Association regularly mobilizes Japanese MPs to limit the accidental activities that are considered to support the unified Church and related religious groups.

In September 2021, the Association also sent a letter to Mr. Shinzo Abe after the former Prime Minister recorded a video of the sect.

Lawyer Hiroshi Yamaguchi said the Church unified to actively develop relationships with politicians in order to make it difficult for investigating efforts, increasing believers's confidence and expanding activities more easily.

The woman said she had seen images of the founder of the former Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi, the grandfather of Shinzo Abe, or former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.

Those images made me believe that the priest was a truly wonderful person, she said, mentioning Pastor Sun Myung Moon, who was born in 1920 and passed away in 2012. This wife then took on the leader.

The unified Church has not commented on the story of a woman.

The method of making money of the Church unified was controversial and was the reason why Yamagami, the suspect assassinated Mr. Abe, raising hatred for a long time.

The leader of the Church unified confirmed Yamagami's mother, the gunman assassinated former Prime Minister Abe, a member.
