The man to free from whom she led the struggle.


Rule of a thumb says that we should use reflexive pronoun after noun.However in the above sentence 'man' is the noun and the pronoun 'whom' qualifies it. Would you please explain it to me and is the above sentence correct in the first place?


P.S- I would appreciate if you correct grammatical mistakes if any in my post.
 
I'm afraid your sentence makes no sense.
 
Here I want to mean that someone(xyz) led a struggle to free himself/ herself from the clutches of some man.
 
'The man from whom she struggled to free herself'
Does this phrase make sense?

Not a teacher.
 
Might be, is my OP altogether incorrect?
 
What about-

The man, to attain freedom from whom, he led struggle.
 
Do you mean 'he struggled for freedom from the man's clutches'?

Not a teacher.
 
I want to mean that someone(xyz) led a struggle to free himself/ herself from the clutches of some man.

"Mona struggled to free herself from James's influence."

The man from whom Mona struggled to free herself was, everyone agreed, a handsome devil!
