Ett skrämmande reportage om barnäktenskap i Jemen. Svensk översättning av Googletranslate kan du läsa här
Det finns mycket att säga om ämnet barnäktenskap och islam. Hur mycket muslimer än försöker säga att detta inte är en del av islam, så har de fel. Deras profet och andra stora namn inom islam gifte sig barn på sin tid. Världen var annorlunda då, ja. Liknade äktenskap var vanligt på medeltiden även här. Problemet är att man fortfarande lever efter dessa gärningar som man gjorde under medeltiden. Att ens försöka dribbla bort detta, vilket man ofta försöker göra är svagt.Muslimer måste ställas till svars inför sina seder och kultur. Varför ska denna grupp få föra oss tillbaks till medeltiden igen, bara för att de har en anal dyrkan av Muhammed och Allah?
“I’d rather die than go back to him”
SANAA, 21 February 2010 (IRIN) – It was every little girl’s dream – she was to get a new dress, jewellery, sweets and a party for all her friends. 
What 10-year-old Aisha* did not know was that after the wedding party she would have to leave school, move to a village far from her parents’ home, cook and clean all day, and have sex with her older husband.
“He took out a special sheet and laid me down on it,” Aisha told IRIN, wringing her small plump hands. “After it, I started bleeding. It was so painful that I was crying and shouting, and since then I have seen him as death.”
After a week of fighting off her husband every night, Aisha’s father was called. He had received 200,000 Yemeni Rial (US$1,000) for his daughter in `shart’, a Yemeni dowry, which he could not pay back.
“My Dad made a cup of tea and put some pills in it, which he gave me. The pills made me feel dizzy,” said Aisha. “My Dad told me to sleep with my husband, or he would kill me, but I refused.”
Instead Aisha broke a glass bottle over her head in a desperate attempt to stay awake. “My Dad hit me badly. I was bleeding from my mouth and nose,” she said.
After spending a few months in her husband’s home, where she said he would regularly drug her and beat her, Aisha managed to escape. Now, two years later, aged 12, she is unable to divorce him.
