«Moi Nojoud, 10 ans, divorcée» is the testimony of Nojoud Ali and Delphine Minoui, published by Gallimard Editions in paperback (160 pages, in French).
In this autobiographical account, Nojoud Ali tells how her parents married her off at ten to a much older man and that, after trying to separate, she went to court to ask for a divorce. She succeeded, something unprecedented in Yemen, where many girls marry before 18, and her story became a symbol against child marriage.
The book was published in 2009 and Nojoud Ali was named «Mujer del año 2008» by the American magazine Glamour.
For readers of true stories and memoirs, and for those following the debate on child marriage and women's rights.
Delphine Minoui is a French journalist specializing in the Iranian world.
