I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced



















I learned that this little girl named Nujood.

Nujood is only 10 years of age.
She has written a book of
what she has been threw in her
life.

Her parents forced her to get
married at the age 10 to a 30 year
old man.

Standing in the corner of her own wedding
she cried, she was scared. She didn't know
what was going to happen.
Even though her husband promised
Nujood's dad that he wouldn't have sex
with her untill she started menstruating.
But her husband pretty much
raped her the first night
they were married.

Nujood's husband forced her to drop
out of school. Once that happend he stated abusing her
in any way you could
imagine.

She finally had enough of him, she heard about
divorce.
Nujood had to runaway from her husband
in order to get a divorce.
She jumped in the back of a taxi and
had asked to be driven to the
nearest courthouse.
The judge was shocked to see such a little
girl demanding that she wanted a divorce!
