An eight year old Yemen girl who got married to a 40-year-old man died from internal injuries on her wedding night, bleeding to death after deep vaginal tearing caused by sex.
The girl, identified only by first name Rawan, died in Hardh in the governorate of Hajjah in northwestern Yemen, according to a report issued by UPI on Sunday, Sept 8 also stating, Yemeni activists urged the local police to arrest the “beastly groom” and the girl’s family and transfer them to a court where justice would be served and the case would be used to help put an end to the practice of marrying very young girls in the impoverished country, the daily said.
In Kuwait, bloggers offered their prayers for the “bride”, but lashed
out at the “groom”, saying that he was a beast who should be severely
punished
Nevertheless, the forced marriage of child brides in Yemen remains a socially accepted custom in many rural areas. Nigerian senators take note before you kill our little girls..
