I'm 10 years old and I'm divorced. The story of a girl who stood up against the cruel traditions of her country
Yemen — a country steeped in conservatism and ancestral traditions.
Love knows no age — here this phrase is more relevant than ever, because girls are married off before they are even 10 years old.
Such are the fates of many Yemeni...
girls. Such was to be the fate of Nujood.
She doesn't know exactly how old she is, 8 or 10 — her mother doesn't remember when she gave birth to her. But one day the girl learns that her childhood has come to an end: Nujood needs to get married so that the family can survive.
«One hungry mouth less», — says her father, her mother meekly agrees — in the East, women have no vote.
The girl is to marry a man three times her age. Then comes pain, humiliation, violence.
But one day she decided to break this cycle. And she succeeded.
