Re: Girl married and divorced at 10 years of age

What a brave, brave little girl! I am so proud of her for standing up for herself and getting out of that marriage. It is a shame that she had to suffer like she did and hopefully her story will be the start of changing how girls and early marriage are viewed. And hopefully many more in this type situation will find the courage and strength to get out now. So sad.

O M G! Married at such a young age and then to be treated like that! That poor girl! But KUDOS to her for speaking out! I think her "husband" should have been hung up by his toes! Makes me mad!

Poor thing! What culture thinks it's okay for a man to marry a child??? I'm glad we live in a country where women are at least more or less treated as equals to men. I couldn't imagine living in a country where females are viewed as property. Muslims...gotta love 'em.

It isn't just Muslim countries. I believe India marries off very young girls as well. What a brave little girl.
