Blog # 2 q. 3


Something I watched a video on www.cnn.com about someone overcoming a struggle. It was about a woman from Saudi Arabia and how if a woman won't marry off her 13 and 14-year-old daughters then she will be divorced, and that is obviously a big deal for her culture. This isn't a rare event, however, because this is happening everywhere in Saudi Arabia. She is outraged and very angry with the way that their culture is forcing them to marry off their daughters at such a young age. She is also mad about her rights as a woman, and thinks women should have more rights in their culture especially about marriage. The Saudi government want to change the laws, but they like the power. So they are trying to educate parents to put their children first, and think of their children before themselves.
