    “I was a baby when I got married. I was only thirteen. I didn’t have an adolescence. One day I’m a child going to school, and the next day I’m a mother—responsible for a home. I cried too much.

        The most resonant stories (to me) come from regular people. Learning how they overcome adversity shows the power we hold within. Blessings to her.

        Child marriages are very sadly still practiced in much of the world. That's why Western women are so passionate about fighting to keep our rights, even today in the U.S. We fight for ourselves & for all woman to be free.

        I can connect with this story. I work in a place where child marriage is very rife. Once saw a 16 year old who had 4 kids already. When she was 11, she returned from school one day to meet a large gathering at her fathers compound. It was her wedding. Groom was a 67yr Man.

        Exactly. Its not confined to just muslims , as the way the people of the west always portrait it to be. Its a global problem. And much of it is in the west just as it is in the east.

        I’m heartbroken she had to wait so long to live her life how she wanted to, because of the role that was forced onto her at such a young age. I wish this wasn’t the fate of some women in the world. I wish everyone had a sense of freedom and the right to make choices.
