BRIDE’S SIDE

Ismael

THE father

After losing his job as a labourer, and no longer being able to provide for his family, he decided to marry off his daughters out of economic desperation. They rely on neighbours for food assistance.

Malika

THE mother

She does not have decision-making power and does not see other alternatives to keep her daughter safe.

Ruquia

THE OLDER sister

Married off at 14 to a 25-year-old and now has two children.

Yasser

THE brother

Has mental health issues.

Amal

THE little sister

Does not attend school.

Ibrahim

THE uncle

When he tried to convince his brother not to marry off Iman, Ismael replied, “I can’t afford her, do you want her for your son?” He also asked a tribe elder for help, but child marriage in Yemen is not technically illegal.

Afaf

THE aunt

Lives in two small rooms with five children.
