So I hope from your justice to equate me!

They Killed my son, I want those guilty of my son!

My divorcee took my kids and forbade me from them

Where are the human rights!

Where is justice!

Your honour, My husband is beating me

And he left me and my seven kids without any allowance

And I'm unemployed

Neither have I any job to support myself

And every time I tell him go seek for a job

He beats me and my kids like crazy!

And the kids are only to be with their mum!

We have brought the sheep with it's mother

To satisfy you and her

How do expect me to bring her back to you after you sold her cow, which was her dowry

And above all this, you married another woman

Other people's daughters aren't toys in your hands to play with

I wont give my daughter back to you no matter what! - I'm mistaken, and for the cow...

There! I have bought another cow, it Milks more and produces more ghee

And about the marriage, you know uncle

That Fatima left the house, and my father went to betroth his niece to me

Without my knowing, I swear I didn't know

And I had to get married, and there she is sitting in his house

Uncle do you want me to embarrass my dad!

In front of everyone, and you know better about the tribal traditions and customs

See if she is pleased, I'll judge upon you to give in a bull along with the cow

If our neighbors didn't lend us the mattress

It's would've been a shame to invite anyone in!

You better not have invited a lot of people!

We wont know then where to seat them!

You're over youself, from where would we know a lot of people, we only know our neighbors

Yeah? instead of thanking me for lending you my space for your daughter's wedding

You're being snippy on me!

Honey! she's under her father, and the rental is paid from the dowry!

Or you would've been sleeping in the streets!

Actually! Her father is my huband! and it's his obligation to provide for me!

And if you don't like it, get out of my room!

Stop this daily fight! even in a day like this?!

Thanks God we don't know a lot of people!

Or you would've exposed us

See how beautiful you look

Come on let's dress you up!

This dress is not beautiful!

I don't like it! I want to take it off!

No I don't want it!

Hush my daughter, what's up with you?

This is not a bride's dress! I want a white dress!

Enjoy

All this blessing is from you, My son

But I'm tired

I have nothing left in this world after my father's death except you, Mum

The food you make is the tastiest in the whole village

But from now on, don't worry

The blessing is from nojood

I did only so that she'd help you

And you raise her the way you want

God bless you

You too mum, May Allah protect you

Thank God

Come take the dishes

Hey! Take the dishes!

What's wrong with her? enclosed to herself, Saying nothing since the morning!

It's ok Mum, you know she just left her parents and siblings, she's not used to us yet

Give her a couple days and things will be fine

Hopefully

Good night Mum

Nojood

Come here! - Let me go!

Where has been this crazy girl?!

Oh, Mum, if you know where was she!

She wanted to throw herself off the peak!

What's this madness!

This girl wasn't brought up well!

She came to ruin our reputation among the village

She obviously needs harshness to straighten!

You hear me! I married you to relief myself! not to chase you everywhere!

You hear me! I paid you father the money I worked for for years!

Years of work!

Are you listening to me!!

I'm saying shut up! shut up! stay silent

You made me crazy!

We leave this to God

You can't pass this door until you obey!

Open the door!

Open the door!

May God's dissatisfaction be upon you!

Open the door

I want to perform ablution

Where do I go if you don't open the door tell me

Open!

Open the door!

Open!

May God's dissatisfaction be upon you! May he not bless you!

Greeting

What's wrong Mum, why are you sitting here?

I want to pray, and I haven't performed ablution, neither used the bathroom!

Why?

This God damned girl, she locked herself up the whole day!

It's ok mum, let's see

Nojood

Nojood

Nojood open the door!

Nojood!

I'm saying open

Open I'm saying or else

Open up girl!

Thanks God, she's still ok

Look for a solution for this

I have never seen such a crazy and stubborn girl

Dad! Mum!

That's Nojood's voice! - Mum! Dad!

Mum!

What's wrong with you Nojoom, what's wrong my daughter?

What's up?

How did you come at this time? - What's wrong?!

Uncle! - Yes!

Come in!

Hello (Greetings)

Sit down - Thanks

Get up

What is it my beloved, here

What's that on your forehead? what's wrong!

Oh Mum if you see what he did to me!

What's he doing to you? why are you in this condition?

I'm bleeding every day, and I feel inflammation in my belly

He didn't wait for you to grow a bit more, damn him

Your daughter made my life like hell

Since the first day of our marriage, she neither listens to me nor my mum

And she refuses to work, she just keeps crying

Mum, this man is hurting me, and he wants me to sit with him

And you told me if anyone holds me or wants something from me to come to you, and here I am

And I want to say, I don't want to go back to him

I told you that in case it was a stranger, not your husband!

And he has the right, my beloved

We told him to wait for you to grow up and start getting menstrual period

Start getting what? You won't defend me! I'll tell dad!

So I told Myself, I should bring her to you

Make her understand

Daddy! please daddy don't make him take me back please daddy!

Please dad! and I'll do everything you say please

Nojood my daughter, you're married now, so you must go back with your husband

Daddy don't let him take me back please

My daughter, if you want to stay home you're welcome

But what will people say, they'll say you're flawed for sure for coming back at this time

Your story is painful and confusing at a time

Mr. Judge, we're closing down the court everybody's out except you

Why what time is it?

It's almost two O'clock

Ok, coming now

My daughter, there's nothing I can do for you today

As you can see, the shift is over

Tomorrow is weekend, so I can't see you until after two days

But your case is difficult and thorny

I can't promise that you'll win the case

A lot of girls got married young

But none of them came to a court for divorce

It's about customs and traditions that got associated with the family's honour

Your case is complicated

Come back after two days

Are you alone?

No one came with you?

Then.. get in my daughter

Sorry honey I'm late

I introduce you to...

What's your name?

Nojoom -Nojoom

This is nojoom, Nojoom this is my daughter Sama

Get in Nojoom, Welcome

Wait, Sama! take Nojoom with you to the room

Come

Allah! (Sign of admiration) You cooking smells amazing

What did you cook? -Wait till you taste today's cooking and tell me your opinion

Wait Mr.Judge!

Nice

I brought a guest - A guest?

A young girl came to the court today, she's three years younger than Sama

She wanted divorce

Younger than Sama?

I Don't believe it

You'll believe it when you see her I brought her with me

Since when did start bringing complainants to our house!

I couldn't leave her

She came at the end of the shift and tomorrow is a day off

I just couldn't, I saw our daughter Sama in her

The problem is, I don't know what to do for her

We don't have a legislation that prohibits underage marriage

And why don't she go to her parents?

The problem is that they're the reason behind it

But this case can cause us problems

Trust me, if you were in my place

where is she? - She's with Sama in her room

What? You want me to leave my daughter with a girl who slept with a man?

No, this is just over!

She must Go back to her parents, I can't let her stay in our house!

What's your name my daughter?

Nojoom

Sama, give Nojoom from your smaller clothes

And get washed and come

Come

N

J

O

M

Nojoom

See how can you write your name

And this is my name

And this in mine!

Now colour the Sea

Nojoom

Don't be afraid my daughter, it's just a nightmare

Turn here

From here

This is the house

Mum! Mum!

Nojoom! where were you my daughter?

Where were you? your father and husband were looking for you and didn't sleep

Where is your scarf? what are you wearing?

Did anyone do anything to you? talk! is there anything?

Where's Dad?

Lower your voice, your father swore that he'll kill you

Come let's hide you until we find an excuse for you come on

Dad get up!

Where are you?! where are you?! Three days looking everywhere for you!

Where did you go?!

What is it uncle? - Where have you been?

Listen, take her with you immediately to the village and raise her the way you want

She ruined our reputation, Go on!

What's wrong?

This is my father, and this is the man they gave me to!

Are you her father? -Yes

Her husband? -Yes

Take them -Wait!

(Arguing)

What did she do!

Those were prosecuted according to your commands

Those are the father and the husband? -Yes this is the father, and this is the husband

What have you done my daughter? What have you done?

Take them to custody, Take them now!

Don't be afraid

They only came to hear your story

We're on your side, Nojoom!

Please silence

In the name of Allah

Meeting open

Your honour, We present before you today to defend the child, Nojoom

Who got married with neither her knowledge nor approval

Once they signed the marriage contract, they took her to a remote village away from her parents

Where her husband assaulted her

While still a minor

In addition to that, he hit�and humiliated her

And today we present before you to appeal for divorce

Do you have a lawyer?

What? a lawyer?

Someone who understands in law to defend you

Defend me against what?�

What's my crime which according to I deserve to be lawsuited and kept in custody

And who's this woman that is interfering with our life

This is the father, if there's any issue among us we solve it between us

What's the deal with all those people?

Your honour, we're tribesmen this humiliation is not our way

You're charged here, and inside a court everyone get's their right

Which means you answer every question honestly and clearly

And if it turned out that you were accused wrongly, justice will be on your side

Did you get married to this little girl?

And Bedded her, and hit or didn't you

Your honour I married her with her father's consent

According to Allah's and his prophet's norms, it's neither a vice nor Forbidden

And who told you that this is Allah's and his prophet's norms?

What do you mean who told me!

Her father and I went to the mosque with two witnesses

They attended the signing of the contract and we recited Al-Fatihah (Qura'anic Chapter)

You are accused here of committing a crime against this child!

Answer me!

Did you sleep with her or not?

This thing is between a man and his wife, not your business

You obviously refuse to cooperate with the court

And this will elongate the case, same goes to your imprisonment

Listen your honour, I don't come from the streets, I come from a tribe

I married her with her father's consent, tell me what's my crime!

Can you just tell me what's the crime?

Do you agree on this marriage?

Why are you humiliating us like this, I gave my daughter like everyone else

How old is your daughter?

She's 13 years old

But she doesn't seem like a 13 years old

What's wrong with my dad?

Don't be afraid

Help him

The meeting is suspended

Are you happy of what you did? -You're not allowed to be here or talk to her

Don't be afraid, everything will be fine, ok?

A young Yemeni girls rebels against... -Nojoom!

Look! it's you on T.V!

Nojood, Aged 10 pressed charges against her father

Who married her forcibly to a man in his 30s

Mum! Come see! Nojoom is on T.V

Turn off the T.V immediately!

Why?! Nojoom is on T.V!

A young Yemeni girl

Pressed charges against her father to the court

A girl? Pressing charges against her father?

If she was my own daughter I would have slaughtered her!

You Yemenis, everything's allowed, everything's expected of you

Get up!

Enough, take the cattle!

Get up

Hey

Yes Yes

No, everything's fine

Yes

"The child Nojoom her case is against her husband..."

Hopefully today you're better

Thanks to Allah

How old is your daughter?

I don't know

How don't you know your daughter's age?

Your honour we don't read or write

How can we know

Even if you can't write or there isn't recording or birth certificate

How could you give your daughter before reaching adulthood?

Everyone in the village have daughters her age, and they're giving them to marriage

No one's prosecuting them, or addressing them

or punish them, and I...

I endured all kinds of misfortunes�

I endured tragedies because of them

Brother, he's her father, he's free to do with her what her wants

Please don't interrupt him, continue

What do you mean by tragedies?

I gave her to marriage because I was afraid

Afraid of what?

I can't talk, your honour

My dignity wont let me

Everyone, we must continue the session privately

According to the father's demand

Please, everyone out

Please, everyone out

There you go, you can now finish

I gave her away, your honour

I was afraid that someone might use her

All this happened to me

When I was living with my rightful dignity back in the village

Who are you?!

Who allowed you in?!

Greetings Sheikh (Village Elder) This is our Sheikh

With what right?

With what right did you trespass the rights of a member of my village?

And imprison him, and question him!

Leave them

Welcome sheikh to the court

Can you please and your men take a seat

The greeting is for you

You call this a court, judge?

Trespassing the rights of people, and imprisoning them for no reason?

And you call it a court!

Listen

I'll get back Adel now, him and his wife

And take them to the village

And you.. you and I will have another talk

We don't trespass the rights of anyone

In the contrary

We try to get this child her rights back

Who had her rights violated

Because of the ignorance of her father and husband

Will you please sit down and attend this session

and hear what the father wanted to say before you enter?

Get out

There , you may talk

Back when I was living in prime and peace

And comfortable, in my village..

There, this is the cow

That I bought

Here you go -Ma Sha'a Allah (sign of please)

Why's my daughter sleeping here, what's wrong with her?

Najla!

Najla my daughter I told you to take care of her

May Allah forgive you - May Allah forgive me for leaving my childern

My daughter! What's wrong? Najla!

Najla! Najla! What's wrong? - Najla!

Mum! - Who did this to you?!

Najla! Najla who did this to you?!

Hussien's son raped me!

Son of hussien?!

Wait! where are you going?

I swear I'll go kill him, I swear!

What kill?! you kill him then his family will kill you

And your Sons will take revenge, and then we're lost!

Then what do you want? you want me to watch my stained honour?

And remain a joke among people?

I swear with God's name I'll kill him!

Please, listen, Go to the Sheikh (Village Elder)

And he'll find a solution for this misfortune we're in!

Please, go to him - You please move away!

Sheikh

I beg you Sheikh, I put this against the Son of hussein!

Calm down, what happened?

He assaulted my daughter, Sheikh! He assaulted her!

Son of hussein assaulted your daughter?! - Yes!�

He seized the opportunity of my absence, and did what he did!

This is a matter of honour, And I'm not letting go even at the cost of my own head

Continue your story

Greetings -Greetings

What is it Sheikh? why did you request for my at this night?

Sit, we'll talk about it

And why didn't you greet back, we're still friends!

Ask your son

Ask your son who did his awful doing!

I swear if not for this place under this roof and for respect of the Sheikh

I would have killed you and your son!

Calm down, Ahmad!

Listen, Hussein

Seems like you didn't bring your son very well

Your son, Hussein, He assaulted Ahmad's honour

And Ahmad's honour, is the honour of the whole village!

Listen brother Ahmad

If what's been said is true

Then only to be done is what satisfies you, and I'm up to it!

I judge what's next

Two cows

One, is for the satisfaction of brother Ahmad

And one for his daughter, and your son will marry his daughter

And a dowry and conditions, doubled!

And I'm honoured with what you judged, Sheikh!

And then rumors spread, your honour

They spread a lot around the village

And my daughter got married, not virgin

My reputation and honour were stained

And I've become the father of the bad girl

While the actual criminal was being left alone

No one spoke to him

I had to move away

And leave the village

And sell what I had from lands and goods

See what girls do to us

Because of them we had to leave behind our money and goods and all that we had from lands

And cows and houses

And to where? God knows!

Was right he who said "The one who brings girls...

is disobedient of his parents" (A Phrase that denotes wrong doing in general) - The proverb says ( The woman is a shame)

why are they staring at us like this? -Man, tell your women to get covered

Get covered!

And me - You, and you

I'm a builder - Get up get up

I'm a builder - And you

Ok get up

Enough enough

Dad! Sami took my bread

I'm hungry and there's no more bread

I'm making them out of what I can With what your dad's providing

Where's The disobedient of his parents! (Phrase explained :) )

�Listen, it's been two months and still didn't pay rental

But for the sake of these kids, I give you two days

If you don't pay by then, all your furniture are to be out in the streets!

Do you hear me?

See you

It's been months and we're looking for jobs

And still we can't find

And the money we had from our village

We consumed it all in house expenses, for you

We don't even have enough to eat or drink

For the sake of God, We don't have what to eat - May God give you

We don't have what to eat

May God give you - May God bless you

We don't have enough for lunch - May God help you

Please - Forgive me, Go

This is what we earned

Come on get up, get up girls

Come on Nojoom get up, and beg with us

Look! I bought with your money a pack of gum and this is a part of the profit!

If I get everyday like today I'll buy you the house of your dreams

"The road is far, the road is far.."

Shut up

Your siblings are asleep! go to bed!

Whatever's good is a solution

What is it

Someone came to betroth Nojood

Who's he?

Someone from a respected tribe, and respectable himself!

And is he willing to wait for Nojoom to grow up?

How many times did I tell you? Her name is Nojood!

And the proverb says "Give away the 8 years Aged girl, and It's guaranteed" (Partially literal translation)

And about Sami, we found him someone to take him abroad and give him work

Where will he go? - Saudi Arabia

And every month he'll be sending us a good amount of money

We're Sorry for what happened to you and your family

And we understand the hardships you had to undergo�

But this isn't an excuse for you to give away your daughter for marriage at this age

Brother Adel

Have you had your marriage including bedding this Child or not?

Yes I slept with her! My wife! anything wrong with it?

So you admit Having a sexual intercourse with her while still being a minor?!

Doesn't this woman feel ashamed of herself? what does she have to do with us?

Can't you see that she's still a child?

The proverb says "Give away the 8 years Aged girl,and It's guaranteed" (Explained)

And there are many people who give away their daughters for marriage at this age

And no one's addressing them!

This is the proverb of the ignorant

What's going on? who's this?

This is my son

In developing countries, 70,000 Little girls

Are killed

And Yemen holds the major share

All to blame the marriage of minors

Today we're very lucky! that Nojoom is with us in the hall

We're lucky that she didn't die

Because of Hemorrhage, or early labor

Are you aware that you are committing a crime?

Your Children are your responsibility�

Even what this mister did, is not right legally

Simply, Nojoom is not ready for marriage

Neither Physically, nor mentaly

She's still a child, and this way we're going to waste the best years of her life

How can a child understand the responsibility of a house, or a house or a family

Nojoom's case is not special, but we ask you to not sentence her to death

I have nothing to add

And how should he know about all this?

Our mothers, and ourselves got married young

And these are our customs and traditions

And you have no right to imprison him and ruin his reputation with no validity

True is what you said, I told you I'm not alone

There, our Sheikh knows about customs and tribal acts better than you

And then again, this marriage was according to Allah's and his prophet's norms

Have you studied anything about Allah's legislation and his prophet's norms about which you've been talking?

I'm a pastoral, I can't read or write but this is what I'm hearing

Since you don't know, let me explain to you

According to Allah's legislation and the prophet's norms

This little girl's marriage is void

And taking advantage of her is one of biggest crimes

It's true that we don't have a law that forbids minors marriage

But this case we should resolve it with our conscience

The conscience of every living human, who feels responsibility

The basis of Sharia (Islamic legislation), is to stop what's bad

And we must defend every victim

Disregarding Age

It's time, Sheikh

It's time to notice the Danger of some customs and traditions

That rule our lives

And get rid of this ignorance, that blinds the guilty

And lets him commit all his crimes easily and without sense

In the name of customs and traditions

And in the name of the religion

Now, Sheikh, it's in your hands

If this child came to you seeking protection and justice

Weren't you going to give her protection and justice

As a responsible person, who has conscience

Don't be afraid

Don't be afraid my daughter tell me

Do you want to go back home with this person?

No! No - That's it

Then it is solved your honour

Adel - Yes Sheikh

Divorce this girl

But Sheikh... - Divorce this girl!

Fine, whatever you say

The court ruled the divorce of the child Nojoom from Adel

Even though this marriage was basically void

The meeting rose

And what brought you my son?

There! Because of her our reputation reached Saudi Arabia!

I feel humiliation and shame everywhere!

Today's news uncle, the child Nojoom won against her father and husband

The youngest wife in the world, the court rules her divorce

"The youngest wife in the world,the court rules her divorce"
