Yemen – I Am Nojoom, Age 10 & Divorced - Film
Ten-year-old Nojoom was forced to marry a 30-year-old man. The
dowry offered the family a small income and 'one less mouth to feed'. Nojoom
discovers that her life will take a turn for the worse. Her husband is
indifferent to her age. Every day after she is wedded, the child works under
harsh conditions and every night, the child-bride is raped by a man 20 years
older than her. A legitimate and acceptable arrangement for all, except for
Nojoom. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
