Yemen Child Bride Granted Divorce at Age 10

Yemen Child Bride Granted Divorce at Age 10 Now Sorry for Advertising Her Plight

Nujood Ali gained global notoriety for her brave fight against her much older, abusive husband, but where she has been left since then is nowhere near where she dreamed she would end up.

Last year, Nujood was even named one of Glamour magazine’s women of the year, along with Hillary Clinton and Nicole Kidman, for bravely taking the stand in defense of herself. Her story is coming out in book form in 20 languages. But CNN recently went to visit the girl who, at the age of ten, became a heroine to many in the effort to save little girls from marriage. But Nujood says despite her fame and the attention paid to her story, she has received little help to better her impoverished life, and she is having a hard time dealing with the media attention and the aftermath.

Monetary donations enabled Nujood to go to a private school, but she refuses to go regularly. She initially attended, after the divorce, but her attendance has plummeted. Her family isn’t being very supportive of her, and her lawyer, Shada Nasser, told CNN she thinks little Nujood is being victimized by the family because they think her fame should bring them fortune.

“There is no change at all since going on television. I hoped there was someone to help us, but we didn’t find anyone to help us. It hasn’t changed a thing. They said they were going to help me and no one has helped me. I wish I had never spoken to the media,” Nujood told CNN, adding that she feels like an outcast among friends and family for bringing the spotlight onto herself and the controversial issue.

So what can be done to help this little girl go back to a “normal” life? We’re not sure, but she certainly deserves the chance to be a happy-go-lucky child like any other girl her age, and not to endure the scorn and humiliation she seems to be facing for trying to save her own life.
