Nada Al-Ahdai, an 11-year-old Yemeni girl, records a video sharing her choice to run away from her family after her parents try to force her into an arranged marriage. She pleas with her family to not force her, but at the same time says she does not want to return home but would rather live with her uncle. 

MEMRI posted the video on Sunday with english translation on the bottom and it has already been viewed almost 5.5 million times. 

Nada seems like a very intelligent and well spoke child. She chastises her parents saying they have no "compassion" and that she would rather kill herself than be in a forced marriage. She shares of people she has known in her own life who have committed suicide over the same issues. 

Nada tells about her aunt who was placed in a forced marriage and after a year poured gas on herself and lit herself on fire until she died. 

Here are some of her comments from the video above.

"I filed a complaint with the police against my mother. I told them that I am only 11 years old and she wants to marry me off," she said in the video. "I would have had no life, no education. Don't they have any compassion? What kind of upbringing did they get?" Nada asks.

"I'm better off dead. I'd rather die. I'd rather live with my uncle than with these people. They threatened to kill me if I went to my uncle. What kind of people threaten their children like that?"

"Would it make you happy to marry me off against my will? Go ahead and marry me off. I'll kill myself, just like that. I won't go back to live with them. I won't. They have killed our dreams. They have killed everything inside us. There's nothing left. This is no upbringing. This is criminal, simply criminal."

"What about the innocence of childhood? What have the children done wrong? Why do you marry them off like that? My mother, my family, believe me when I say: I'm done with you. You've ruined my dreams."

"I managed to solve my problem, but some innocent children can't solve theirs, and they might die, commit suicide, or do whatever comes to mind. They're just kids. What do they know? They didn't have time to study, or anything. It's not our fault. I'm not the only one. It can happen to any child. There are many cases like that. Some children decide to throw themselves into the sea. They're dead now. This is not normal for innocent children."

This is a horrific situation and it is heart breaking that anyone, let alone an 11-year-old girl should have to face such hard life decisions. Lets all pray for little Nada and all of the other children facing this and other issues.
