Yemeni girl, 12, dies in painful childbirth

AMMAN, Jordan (CNN) -- A 12-year-old Yemeni girl, who was forced into marriage, died during a painful childbirth that also killed her baby, a children's rights group said Monday.

Fawziya Ammodi struggled for three days in labor, before dying of severe bleeding at a hospital on Friday, said the Seyaj Organization for the Protection of Children.

"Although the cause of her death was lack of medical care, the real case was the lack of education in Yemen and the fact that child marriages keep happening," said Seyaj President Ahmed al-Qureshi.

Born into an impoverished family in Hodeidah, Fawziya was forced to drop out of school and married off to a 24-year-old man last year, al-Qureshi said. ...

It's easy to forget how fortunate we are.

That means she was probably forced to have sex at 11. I say forced, because a young girl at that age has no inclination for sex...too young. What a horrible life, I hope she rests in peace. Poor little child. :(

Alongside all religions

Religion only serves to give credence to the most violent sociopaths in our society

Imagine. No. Religion.

Religion is merely subject to being used as an excuse for people to do evil...as are many other things.

behind and that it is the most socially acceptable of the excuses being used to do evil?

They need to crack down on such things in Yemen. India used probably to be the worst country for such things, and although it's not perfect now, it's much better since successive governments have cracked down on it.

Poor little girl.
