1/5. Summary. I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced is a fairly short book for a memoir, but one that packs a pretty powerful message into its small size, much like the young girl whose story it tells. Nujood Ali became the youngest person in the world to seek and be granted a divorce. It is the last place you would expect to become a center in the age-old struggle for women's rights, and Nujood Ali, a ten-year old girl, was an unlikely hero. When her desperately poor father sold her into marriage to a much older man, she suffered months of horrific abuse before finding the courage to rebel, becoming the first child-bride in Yemen history to be granted divorce. I am Nujood, Age 10 and divorced serves as a revelation by shedding light about the malpractice of lifting off children rights: something that has resulted to the destruction of lives of children for many years. In Yemen, Nujood sets path for other children to rise up against perception of women as objects of honor and commodities of trade particularly by becoming the first Yemen bride child to win a divorce court case.
