Saw this yesterday. Hope she'll be ok.

The kid should realize that "allah's mercy" is the reason she had to flee for her life. She should thank the person driving the car.

Babby steps, Ayaan Hersi Ali went through the same thing.

Poor girl, I hear of similar stories in our southeastern borders, though "fleeing" there is synonymous with committing suicide, or simply being brought back if the groom's family is merciful.

i think they'd rather die. this girl says she'd rather die. and i can understand that (that they'd rather die).

With this going viral, I'd be surprised if her education isn't fully funded in the next few months.

She deserves it!

Nothing but respect for this young kid. I have to say it's really heartening to see such strong women coming out of the middle east. Brian already mentioned Ayaan Hirsi Ali, plus there's Malala Yousafzai who is also just a kid too. I'm looking forward to seeing more coming out of the woodwork too.
