Ok, so reading this article today on CNN - disturbing. I have to admit I don't know much about Yemen, outside of that borderline annoying Friends episode where Chandler tries to move away from Janice.
But c'mon!!! Letting your pre-pubescent daughter get married to a 30 year old, knowing he was going to attempt to consummate the marriage and had a violent streak. Where is that considered acceptable?! No matter what the age, why would you ever give your CHILD over to that kind of situation?!
I'm outraged and disgusted, and selfishly thankful that I was born into a normal, democratic and first world country.
But above all, power to this strong, amazing little feminist for standing up for herself and getting a divorce at 8 years old!
