After finishing her 2012 Olympics run, Sihame disappeared in London rather than returning to Comoros. She was later arrested for attempting to enter France using a fake passport. She said that this was due to a forced and paid marriage made by her family in Comoros between her and a then 60-year-old man, as they sought to capitalize on her status and worth as an Olympic-level athlete.[2]
