Go ahead & marry me off;I'll kill myself"- 11year old child bride explains why she ran away from home (Photos & Video)


A harrowing video has been posted on online of an 11-year-old Yemeni girl who claims she ran away to escape an arranged marriage.
Nada al-Ahdal says she was only saved from the forced engagement after her uncle intervened.
'Go ahead and marry me off - I'll kill myself,' she warns in the video, dated July 8, and posted on YouTube. The schoolgirl. one of eight children, was taken in by her uncle Abdel Salam al-Ahdal, when she was aged three.
But when a Yemeni expatriate living in Saudi Arabia asked her parents if he could marry her, they readily agreed.
