Yemeni Child Bride Bleeds To Death

There is a new report of an outrage involving a child bride in the Middle East. A 12-year-old Yemeni bride Elham Mahdi Shuee has reportedly died after bleeding caused by sexual intercourse.

Elham died three days after her marriage to a man in his late 20s. She was admitted to the hospital with a
womb rupture. She was married as part of a swap marriage where, instead of paying a dowry, the husband’s family agreed to marry off a girl the same age to Elham’s brother.
