8-year-old Yemeni child dies at hands of 40-year-old husband on wedding night
Al Nahar, Lebanon, has reported that an eight year old child bride died
in Yemen on her wedding night after suffering internal injuries due to
sexual trauma. Human rights organizations are calling for the arrest of
her husband who was five times her age.
The death occurred in the tribal area of Hardh in northwestern Yemen,
which borders Saudi Arabia. This brings even more attention to the
already existing issue of forced child marriages in the Middle Eastern
region.
"According to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), between
2011 and 2020, more than 140 million girls will become child brides.
Furthermore, of the 140 million girls who will marry before the age of
18, 50 million will be under the age of 15."
It is reported that over a quarter of Yemen's young girls are married before the age of 15. Not
only do they lose access to health and education, these child brides
are commonly subjected to physical, emotional and sexual violence in
their forced marriage.
One of the main issues is that there is currently no consistent
established definition of a "child" that has been agreed upon
worldwide. This leaves various interpretations within countries and
little protection for those who are affected.
Establishing this age limit is among the top priorities of groups like
HRC which was responsible for publishing the 54-page report “How Come You Allow Little Girls to Get Married?”,
documenting the lifelong damage to girls who are forced to marry
young. Most pro age-limit organizations agree that 18 should be the
legal age for marriage.
In February 2009, a law was created in Yemen that set the minimum age
for marriage at 17. Unfortunately, it was repealed after more
conservative lawmakers called it un-Islamic.
