I'm 10 and Divorced: The Story of a Girl Who Rebelled Against Her Country's Cruel Traditions

"I am a simple village girl who has obeyed the orders of my father and brothers ever since I learned to say yes. Today I have decided to say no." Yemen is a country steeped in conservatism and ancestral traditions. Love is all ages - this phrase is more relevant here than ever, because girls are married off before they are 10 years old. This is the fate of many Yemeni women. This was to be Nujood's fate. She does not know exactly how old she is, 8 or 10 - her mother does not remember when she gave birth to her. But one day the girl learns that her childhood is over: Nujud needs to get married so that her family has something to live on. "One less hungry mouth," says the father, the mother obediently agrees - in the East women have no right to vote. The girl is to marry a man three times her age. Then pain, humiliation, violence. But one day she decided to break the cycle. And she succeeded.
