This is just heartbreaking She tried to get out and was forced back anyway. When someone feels death is the only escape, the system has completely failed them This should not just be another news story, it should be a wake up call

Ah yes, Yemen; the place constantly lobbing missiles at people because Iran told them to. I'm shocked that women's rights aren't at the forefront of their agenda. Shocked, I tell you!

Googled, but not images. “Legislative Deadlock: Attempts to set the age at 17 or 18 (notably in 2009 and 2014) were blocked by conservative parliamentarians and clerics who argue such laws are "un-Islamic".”
