Tradition can be a beautiful thing. It is food, clothing, art, writing, dance, music and so much more. But one thing tradition should never include is harm or pain. Following this tradition in Yemen, Nujood Ali was married off to a much older man at the tender age of eight years old, where she endured terrible abuse and rape. Yet she was able to escape her husband and, all by herself, went to a court in Yemens capitol and demanded a divorce. Most thankfully her wish was granted. Nujood has shown amazing courage, and she hopes that when she grows up, she might help other girls who have been forced into abusive arranged marriages. youtube/watch?v=zC9dB_COaJI
