At only 8 years-old, one child bride in Yemen sustained internal injuries so severe, she died.
An 8 year-old Yemeni child bride, a mere girl, recently died on her wedding night from internal hemorrhaging. She was married to a man five times her age. As disgusting as the tradition of marrying off children to much older men is, it is common practice in Yemen. More than a quarter of the female population are married before the age of 15.In 2010, a 12 year-old girl passed away after struggling for three days in labor, attempting to give birth to a baby. Countless other children have been subjected to similar atrocities.
Marrying young daughters to much older men is a common practice in Yemen.
More people need to know this is happening. Please share this on your web sites and share to every one you know so action can be taken so this barbaric practice ends. What more can be said, So sad for these little girls, Regards A+A
