His mother was holding me,&#8221; remembers Nujood. Traumatised, she sought refuge from her relatives but was turned away for fear of shaming the family. With no one to rely on but herself, she took a taxi to court where a judge, outraged by her story, granted her a divorce. But Nujood was lucky in a country which does not recognise marital rape as a crime and has no minimum marriage age. A reform to introduce it was blocked last year by Yemen&#8217;s Muslim Brotherhood. &#8220;Islam doesn&#8217;t specify an age for marriage. Why make a problem out of nothing?&#8221; asks one member of Yemen&#8217;s parliament. Nujood is set on fighting child marriage in Yemen when she grows up; but with an estimated half of all brides aged below 18 and many families hoping to alleviate poverty with dowries, she faces a bitter struggle.<\/p>\n<p>SBS Australia \u2013 Ref. 5951<\/p>\n<p>Journeyman Pictures is your independent source for the world&#8217;s most powerful films, exploring the burning issues of today.
