SAY NO TO FORCEFUL MARRIAGE
Aisha's eyes welled up with tears as her father, Mama's brother, and the elderly men of the village gathered in their living room. They spoke of her marriage to a man she'd never met, a man three times her age.
"But Baba, I don't want to marry him," Aisha pleaded.
Her father's stern expression silenced her. "It's arranged, Aisha. You'll obey."
The day of the wedding, Aisha's heart felt heavy. She thought of her dreams, her education, and her aspirations. As she exchanged vows with a stranger, she felt her soul suffocate.
After the ceremony, Aisha mustered courage. She shared her story with her mother, who revealed she'd suffered similarly. Together, they vowed to break the cycle for Aisha's younger sisters.
Aisha's journey was just beginning. With support from her mother and determination, she sought education, independence, and a voice. Though challenges persisted, she became a beacon of hope for others trapped in similar situations.
Her story sparked conversations, inspiring change and empowering young women to stand against forceful marriages. Aisha's courage transformed her life and the lives of those around her.
