Eleven-year-old Nada Al-Ahdal lives in Yemen. Nada was raised by an uncle, and didn't even see her parents for years until she was of an age that men were willing to pay for her hand in marriage. She ran away from her parents' home when she found out she was contracted to be married. Rather than face kidnapping charges, the uncle went to the Ministry of the Interior’s family protection department. After an investigation, the parents relinquished Nada to her uncle's care. In this video, Nada vents her feelings about what she went through, and asks for the world to consider other girls in the same situation. Link -via The Daily Dot
I don't believe the girl's story is misrepresented, but I've noted many inflammatory things lately coming from Memri-TV, and they've been accused of loose translations favorable to their view. Just making folks aware that Memri-TV has a dog in this hunt.
