A twelve year old girl forced into marriage in Yemen has died giving birth to a baby.
As the Yemeni Child Sijadsch Organization announced on Sunday, Fawzia Abdullah died on Friday at the stillbirth of her child in a Saudi Arabian hospital from major bleeding, which did not stop.
According to Sijadsch the destitute parents took the girl from school at the age of eleven years and forced her into marriage. She soon got pregnant.
Yemen is one of the poorest countries in the world, forced marriages of underage girls are not uncommon. Last year saw eight years old Muhammad Ali Nodschud who got forced to marry a 20 years older man finally managing to get divorced after two years. Civil rights groups have been demanding a minimum age of 18 years for marriage for some time.
