Sana’a, Yemen (CNN) — Reem al Numeri is 14-years-old and recently divorced. She was 11 when she says her father forced her to marry a cousin more than twice her age. Reem says she has been stigmatized by her divorce and now lives the life of an outcast. Without a husband or father to support her, she cannot attend school. Her story has echoes of Nujood Ali — the Yemeni girl whose story sparked an international outrage that many thought would force change in the country. But a bill to outlaw child marriages got blocked and the practice continues. On Saturday, Yemen’s parliament will look again at child marriage. (via Child bride horrors last a lifetime - CNN.com)
Can you guess the religion of those who do not want the practice banned? (Clue: If child marriage was good enough for the Prophet is good enough for me too..)
I know this is bad, but not all Islamic people believe in this shit
