I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced

A Memoir

By: Nujood Ali,Delphine Minoui

“I’m a simple village girl who has always obeyed the orders of my father and brothers. Since forever, I have learned to say yes to everything. Today I have decided to say no.” Nujood Ali's childhood came to an abrupt end in 2008 when her father arranged for her to be married to a man three times her age. With harrowing directness, Nujood tells of abuse at her husband's hands and of her daring escape. With the help of local advocates and the press, Nujood obtained her freedom—an extraordinary achievement in Yemen, where almost half of all girls are married under the legal age. Nujood's courageous defiance of both Yemeni customs and her own family has inspired other young girls in the Middle East to challenge their marriages. Hers is an unforgettable story of tragedy, triumph, and courage.

I Am Nujood, Age 10 And Divorced

By: Delphine Minoui,Nujood Ali

The internationally bestselling true story of the remarkable ten-year-old Yemeni girl who dared to defy her country’s most archaic traditions by fighting for a divorce I’m a simple village girl whose family had to move to the capital, and I have always obeyed the orders of the men in my family. Since forever, I have learned to say yes to everything. Today, I have decided to say no. Uplifting and impossible to put down, this is a true story of the ten-year old girl who won a divorce from the man she was forced to marry, courageously defying both Yemeni customs and her own family. Nujood’s childhood came to an abrupt end when her father arranged for her to be married to a man three times her age. With harrowing directness, Nujood tells of abuse at her husband’s hands, beginning with the very first night of her married life, and ending the day she slipped away during an errand. Instead of going to the market to buy bread, she took a taxi to the court building. That was the beginning of her odyssey. With the help of a woman lawyer, Chadha Nasser, NGO’s and the local press, Nujood finally obtained her freedom, an extraordinary achievement in Yemen, where there is a conspiracy of silence about the fact that almost half the girls are married under the legal age. Since her victory, Nujood has given other young girls the courage to stand up to their society’s customs. Written with childlike simplicity and penetrating honesty, I Am Nujood is at once shocking and inspiring, disturbing and redemptive.

Nama Saya Nujood, Usia 10 dan Janda

By: Nujood Ali dan Delphine Minoui

Dipaksa ayahnya menikah dengan lelaki berusia tiga kali lipat usianya, Nujood Ali yang masih belia pun terpisah dari orangtua dan keluarga tercintanya. Ia harus memulai hidup baru bersama suami dan keluarganya di sebuah desa terpencil di pedalaman Yaman. Di sana, setiap hari ia menerima penganiayaan fisik dan emosional dari sang ibu mertua, dan dari tangan kasar sang suami setiap malam. Melanggar janji untuk menangguhkan berhubungan badan dengan Nujood hingga ia cukup dewasa, sang suami merenggut keperawanan si bocah pengantin tepat pada malam pertama. Saat itu usianya bahkan baru sepuluh tahun. Merasa tak sanggup lagi menanggung derita, Nujood melarikan diri—bukan ke rumah orangtuanya, tapi ke gedung pengadilan di ibu kota, naik taksi dengan beberapa keping uang untuk makan sehari-hari. Mendengar kabar tentang korban belia ini, seorang pengacara Yaman segera menangani kasus Nujood dan berjuang melawan sistem kolot di negeri yang nyaris sebagian gadis-gadisnya menikah di bawah umur. Sejak kemenangan mereka yang tak terduga pada April 2008, tentangan Nujood yang berani terhadap adat-istiadat Yaman dan keluarganya sendiri telah menarik perhatian dunia internasional. Kisahnya bahkan mendorong perubahan di Yaman dan negera-negara Timur Tengah lainnya, tempat hukum pernikahan di bawah umur terus diterapkan dan gadis-gadis belia yang menikah dibebaskan dengan perceraian.
