SANAA, Yemen (CNN) -- Nujood Ali is 10 years old, but she already has been married and divorced. It was an arranged marriage in which she said a husband three times her age routinely beat and raped her. "When I got married, I was afraid. I didn't want to leave home. I wanted to stay with my brothers and sisters and my mom and dad," she said, speaking to CNN with the permission of her parents. "I didn't want to sleep with him, but he forced me to. He hit me, insulted me." As she plays marbles with her brothers and sister, Nujood is a portrait of innocence, with a shy smile and a playful nature. But what happened evokes anger and shame. Asked if what she went through was torture, she nods quietly. Watch Nujod describe what happened » Nujood's parents married her off in February to a man in his 30s whom she describes as old and ugly. Her parents said they thought they were putting her in the care of her husband's family, but Nujood said he would often beat her into submission. Nujood then turned to her family for mercy. "When I heard, my heart burned for her; he wasn't supposed to sleep with her," said Nujood's mother, who asked not to be identified. But, initially, she also told her daughter she could not help her -- that she belonged to her husband now. Nujood's father, Ali Mohammed Ahdal, said he is angry about what happened to his daughter. "He was a criminal, a criminal. He did hateful things to her," he said. "He didn't keep his promise to me that he wouldn't go near her until she was 20."

If that loser wanted a virgin so bad, why didn’t he just admit he’s a muslim terrorist and go blow himself up!
Subhuman Savages!
Beyond naive.
More stories from the Religion of Peace.
It seems unusual her father took her side and even let her come back to the family- as “damaged goods”, she’s not going to fetch him any bride money and he probably paid the loser a dowry to boot
Matthew 7:16 (”By their fruits you shall know them...”) is not just a San Francisco tourist guide.
More Muslim “intellectuals”.
This is more proof that Islam is evil and that Islam must be stopped.
We came to see that Islam is a hoax, an imperialistic ideology, disguised as religion, invented by a narcissist for his own personal gains. We found out that Muhammad was a conman, a ventriloquist who projected his own words into his imaginary dummy deity to fool the gullible. With a promise of a carnal and orgiastic paradise (just for men) and threat of hell he goaded his foolhardy followers to raid and slay innocent people under pretext that they were infidels. He and his merry band of terrorists looted villages and cities, raped the women, and enslaved all who were not killed outright. To this day, Muslim jihadis are following the footsteps of their prophet who bragged, “I have been made victorious with terror” . No other cause is responsible for more deaths than Islam. Our goal is to expose this religion of terror and warn of its danger. We also want to help Muslims see the absurdity of it, end their “us” vs. “them” ethos and embrace the human race in amity. No one is their enemy; it is they who are the enemy to everyone else. We strive for the unity of mankind through the elimination of Islam, the most insidious doctrine of hate. Humanity is one. Let not charlatans like Hitler and Muhammad divide us with their big lies.
Islam can’t be reformed, but it can be eradicated. It can’t be molded, but it can be smashed. It is rigid, but brittle. That is why Muslims can’t tolerate criticism of it. To eradicate Islam, all we have to do is tell the truth. It’s that simple. This was not possible before, but with the help of the Internet, it is now. The insanity of this creed is so glaringly obvious, it boggles the mind. All it takes to see that is to read the Qur’an.
The truth about Islam is out. It’s here on this site. With truth and reason alone we can demolish this tall tower of lies. If you help spread the truth we can bring this house of cards down sooner than anyone can imagine.
There is one thing about this story which surprises me: that the girl’s parents supported her when they found out what she was going through. I’ll bet that’s unusual in Islamic culture.
Muslims are just following in the footsteps of Mohammed, who Married Aisha when she was 6, and consummated the marriage when she was 9.
To say that Mohammed was a pedophile would be to apply today's standards against a tribal charlatan from 1,200 years ago.
But it is accurate to call Muslims who mimic his child-bride routine pedophiles.
More accurately the Religion of Peons.
“he didnt keep his promise to not go near her”
Crock of sh*t
This isnt the first story I’ve seen about child brides
Wonder what they got in return
Seems like this is a social / religious custom to keep young girls from shaming their family by having their own mind, desires, and love interests, in general their own life
Anybody even once, read or see any feminist raise this issue and protest for these poor young girls?
“he didnt keep his promise to not go near her”
This “father” would have been smarter to send her to stay a while with Michael Jackson. At least she would have been safe there! Of course, if she were a boy, it’d be a different story altogether! :)
[lib]Let us be careful not to judge their culture. Every culture is equally valid and we cannot be bigoted against them. [/lib]
