Safia Ahmadei, 36, told jurors at Wolverhampton Crown Court , where she is on trial for attempted kidnap, she had come to England with her first husband from Afghanistan in 2011.
However, he had left her and without any income.
She said: "I started from zero. I had nothing. I just wanted to provide for my two children. I learnt English and passed my driving test.
