CHILD BRIDE

di Andrea And (Autore)

IASON BOOKS, 2014

This is a true story, taking place in the Middle East, circa 1900. Are you aware of how many women all around the world are forced to live their lives by the desires and choices of others, without their will, like slaves? And perhaps you are one of them! For how long can one keep silent, without rebellion? Where lies the limit for such patience? How high can the walls that tolerance and submission are leaning on be? Bedriye, a fragile “child-woman”, is a story of “continuous wrongs” that have been repeating themselves for many ages. What direction does being the 13-years-old second wife of a prestigious man in his forties take a child to? Especially when her fellow concubine is old enough to be her mother? If you don’t know how one can be consumed by physical rape and infringement of life of the past century, you shall learn after reading this book. Bedriye is alive for centuries. There are child-women all around the world. They existed in the past century, and they exist now. They are many of them, and how unbearable their unchangeable lives are! Europe and America do not define how human life is everywhere in the world. In many countries, whose names may escape you, “colossal men” are turning little children into women, even sometimes to death! This story goes back to the year, 1911. A real life story! And hundreds of thousands of such real lives continue to happen, buried under colossal rocks of delirium and hopelessness. Do you want to know about all these? Then start turning the pages and discover how some parts of the world are still far from reaching what we call the new millennium. Feel free to weep and cry but tears have not, and will not, alter the ways of traditions.
