Re: CNN - Helping child brides break free - "When I got married I was
scared," remembers 10-year-old Nujood Ali. "I didn't want to leave my
family and siblings." - At an age when girls in the West still play
with dolls, Nujood found herself married to a man three times her age.
But in her home country of Yemen -- a deeply conservative Middle East
Muslim nation -- this situation isn't uncommon.,,Yemeni lawyer Shada
Nasser had long opposed the practice of early marriage when, in April
2008, she got a chance to do something about it. -
