Nada Al-Ahdal, 11, breaks a tradition of child marriage
"Nada al-Ahdal, 11, broke a longstanding tradition of child marriages after she managed to run away from her parents and alert the authorities," the video's description says. "She then delivered a passionate testimony against the practice that is spreading across the web like a wildfire."
Nada Al-Ahdal, a Yemeni girl of 11, was about to become a child bride. She escaped the fate her parents had planned for her.
In this video, Cenk Uygur discusses her passionate plea against the tradition. He argues that a practice which hands children over to adults is wrong, even if it is a tradition.
