An 8-year-old girl has died of internal bleeding after marrying a 40-year-old man in Yemen. Although officials have denied the news, Yemen locals have come out in their numbers to protest the shocking death of the minor. Highlighting the dangers and cruelty involved in child bride stories, the young girl identified as Rawan died on her wedding night after first intercourse.
Arwa Othman, head of Yemen’s House of Folklore and a leading rights campaigner, said the girl was married to a 40-year-old late last week in the town of Meedi in Hajjah province, north-western Yemen. “On the wedding night and after intercourse, she suffered from bleeding and uterine rupture which caused her death. They took her to a clinic but the medics couldn’t save her life,” Othman said authorities had not taken any action against the girl’s family or her husband.
A security official in the provincial town of Haradh denied any such incident had taken place. He did not want to be identified because he was not authorised to speak to the press. But two Meedi residents contacted by Reuters confirmed the incident and said tribal chiefs had tried to cover up the incident when the news broke, warning a local journalist against covering the story. This is not a scarce case in Yemen as a number of poor families marry off young daughters to save on the costs of bringing them up and also to make money from the dowry.
So sad!

Its just sad.

God help Africa.

8 year old? Wow!. She's really young. I thought 13 is young, but 8, good lord. Some of these moslems don't have an ounce of chill.

Islam is evil.

May God judge every damn person involved in child marriages/abuse.... Its just not fair

This is just unfair,what sin have young girls committe to deserve this

8yrs old against 40.

Why won't she die of bleeding and uterine rupture.

I've heard tat there's still a lot of countries practicing this child marriage

Dammit!!

Im still having a hard time reasoning why people do such things, i cant imagine having a daughter, allowing her engage in such act at that age .

The fact that grown ass men indulge in such, choi, very stupid. Im not condemning o, cuz we all commit sin one way or the other, &sin na sin , but abeg, this one stupid biko

Speechless

There you have it ladies and gentlemen.

A round of applause for the "religion of peace"

Just imagine the pain she would went through. God punish the man and her parents. Why is it that most Muslims love to marry off their kids at such a tender age?

Yeaaah, not only African countries practiced such thing but in Bangladesh and India as well...



How cud such a grownazz man married a very fragile, innocent girl that no nothing about marriage? This malpractice is sickening me...

if a Christian commits a crime does it mean Christianity is bad? common since is not common.

Uterine rupture= death.

If it happens inside an hospital O.R. 70%-80% death is sure let alone @ her residence.

She was dead the moment the bleeding started
