Seeing Nojoud's courage, her father realized his mistake

Nojoud Ali was a child bride from Yemen. At 10, she went to court & asked for divorce from her 30-year old husband. She is back in school. She aspires to be a lawyer. “I now realize the mistake & will never put another of my daughters into child marriage,” said Nojoud’s father. “Daughters will get married when they get to the right age.”
