This is unbearable. An 11 yr old BRILLIANT Yemeni girl fleeing from forced marriage makes a video

'Go ahead and marry me off - I'll kill myself': Escaped child bride, 11, explains why she ran away from home


'Don't they have any compassion?' I'm better off dead. I'd rather die.'

She continues: 'It’s not [the kids'] fault. I’m not the only one. It can happen to any child.'


'Some children decided to throw themselves into the sea, they’re dead now. They have killed our dreams, they have killed everything inside us. There’s nothing left. There is no upbringing. This is criminal, this is simply criminal.'
