This is incredible audio from a 11-year-old Yemeni girl who fled her home because her mother was going to force her into marriage. She said she’s never returning home because her mother ruined her life and that she’d rather kill herself before being forced into marriage. Unfortunately, she said, other girls weren’t so lucky and did kill themselves by burning themselves alive and plunging themselves in the river.
She comes across as a very intelligent girl who wants to be educated and to experience her youth, neither of which she said would happen if she’d been forced into marriage.
