The early marriage in Yemen




A lot of news talked about the early marriage in Yemen. A lot of young girls between 8 to 14 years old have been forced to marry to men older than them with  almost 15 years more or less. The news about these kinds of marriages have been spread out becouse of the new educated generation who have their opinion and can fight for their rights.
Many of them are like Reem , and others have died in the first night like "Ilham", 13 years old who died becouse her small body couldn't handle the situation that she was in.
This why a lot of women movementes have appeared in Yemen,asking for giving the woman in Yemen her rights. The results of these movements is that a new law which gives the woman the age 17 to get married and the man 18.
