Title: Child bride gets divorced after rape, beatings
Post by: reyfer on July 17, 2008, 12:19:31 AM

Nujood Ali is 10 years old, but she already has been married and divorced. It was an arranged marriage in which she said a husband three times her age routinely beat and raped her. (http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/07/15/yemen.childbride/index.html?eref=rss_world)

Ugh what scum. Doing that to someone probably half his size and can't defend herself properly, it's out of order. I'm not even going to get into this child arranged marriage to someone twice her age issue. Simply, it's just. wrong.

This explains the backward mentality of some cultures and the people who abuse them....just plain nasty :angry:

I am struck at how incredibly brave that little girl is to have demanded the divorce on her own. I hope her life is better from here on out. Although I wonder, will other men marry her since she is no longer a virgin?
I am also struck by how much her parents must love her to buck the system and take her back even knowing that others would probably have killed her to salvage the family honor.
And to think her child rapist of a husband got paid at the end of this! That shows the mercy and logic in Sharia Law.

It's truly inspiring/amazing how brave she was for standing up for herself!
