Title: 8-Year-Old Girl Seeks Divorce
Post by: Amarghetta on April 16, 2008, 01:37:52 AM
The young girl arrived alone, on April 2, to find a judge to take her case against her father, Muhammed Nasser. He forced Nojoud to marry Faez Ali Thamer, 22-years her senior, two months ago. (http://www.bloggernews.net/115120)

Reminds me of a girl I knew that got married in 8th grade. It was an arranged marriage and her parents didn't really give her the option of saying no.

You'd be surprised to find out how much kids know in general these days.

She must be one brave 8 year old to do that on her own. Bad stuff like forced marriage still happens all the time, so it's good that the kids know their rights.

That's shocking! I didn't know arranged marriage could be, well, arranged with kids that young! I guess there's a lot I don't know about the world. But good for her, about getting the divorce.
