Arranged Marriage in Yemen
December 2, 2014
Reading “Giribala” reminded me of arranged marriage in various Middle Eastern countries, and this video features an 11 year old running away from home instead of being married off to some guy she doesn’t even know, and she speaks out against this.

After seeing this post, I was rendered speechless and shocked that something like this would happen in our world even today. I just don’t know how to process these feelings of disgust and revulsion considering the case of how disrespectful some parents are to their children and objectifying them as play things for others. Honestly, I can’t believe that we live in a world where these kind of atrocities take place even today. I do have to thank you for posting this up and spreading awareness for this issue. It must be addressed ASAP.
