Rawan, an 8-year-old child bride died of internal bleeding injuries
on the night of an arranged marriage in the city of Hardh in Northwest
Yemen after being given out in marriage to a man who is over 40!
She is believed to have suffered a tear to her Cores and severe bleeding.
Yemeni activists urged the local police to arrest the “beastly groom”
and the girl’s family and transfer them to a court where justice would
be served and the case would be used to help put an end to the practice
of marrying very young girls in the impoverished country, the daily
said.
In Kuwait, bloggers offered their prayers for the “bride”, but lashed
out at the “groom”, saying that he was a beast who should be severely
punished.
Angry Man, a blogger, posted that the man was “an animal who deserved to be punished severely for his crime.”
“All those who supported such a crime should also be punished,” he said.
Under the moniker “Sad”, another blogger said that everybody should have realized that Rawan was too young to get married.
“Her family and her groom could have waited for some time before
having this marriage,” Sad said. “It was not fair at all and the
marriage should not have happened even if some tribes believe that it is
a good custom.”
Bu Omar said that he was disturbed by the death report.
“Rawan’s family members are not humans. They do not deserve to have children,” he said.
