My name is Nozoud and I grew up in a village in Yemen. I am ten years old, or at least that's what I think. In my country, children from the province do not have official documents or birth certificates.
My parents forced me to marry a man who was three times my age. He sexually abused me and when I resisted, he would hit me. One morning when I left the house to buy bread, I tremblingly climbed onto the bus and went to the courthouse. 'I want to speak to the judge!' I said. Ever since I can remember, I have said 'yes' to everything. But that day, I had decided to say 'no'.
The true story of a young girl from Yemen who dared to defy the strict traditions of her country, to seek a divorce and to win it. This is an unprecedented decision in the history of this Middle Eastern state where the majority of girls marry before they turn eighteen.
