I'm 10 and Divorced: The Story of a Girl Who Rebelled Against Her Country's Cruel Traditions
4.99 €
"I'm a simple village girl who's obeyed my father and brothers since I learned to say 'yes.' Today, I've decided to say 'no.'" Yemen is a country steeped in conservatism and ancestral traditions. "Love knows no age"—this phrase is more relevant here than ever, as girls are married off before they're even 10. Such is the fate of many Yemeni girls. Such should have been Nujood's. She doesn't know exactly how old she is, 8 or 10—her mother doesn't remember when she was born. But one day, the girl learns that her childhood is over: Nujood must marry so that the family can support itself. "One less hungry mouth to feed," her father says, and her mother meekly agrees—in the East, women have no voice. The girl is about to marry a man three times her age. Then comes pain, humiliation, violence. But one day, she decides to break this cycle. And she succeeds.
