The horrific report of an 8-year-old girl who died of internal injuries on her wedding night in Yemen after an arranged marriage to a middle-aged man is being flatly denied by local officials, but the journalist who broke the story says the officials are trying to cover up the tragedy. An 11-year-old Yemeni girl recently made international news after fleeing her parents’ home when faced with an arranged marriage. In a video she made, the girl asked “what have the children done wrong?” to deserve such a fate. She cited the story of her aunt, who was put in a similar situation at age 14. After a year of beatings, sometimes with metal chains, Nada said she “poured gasoline over herself and set herself on fire.”
