I am truly overwhelmed by the response to this call for justice. It feels like the world is finally paying attention to this tragedy because of your compassion. This momentum belongs entirely to the people who refused to look away.

Disgusting. No girl should ever be forced to live with her attacker. Change this law now.
Why is this even an option. The system failed her completely. Horrible.
ABSOLUTELY SICKENING. THAT IS NOT JUSTICE THAT IS A PERMANENT NIGHTMARE FOR THE VICTIM.
My heart breaks for her family. This law is pure evil and needs to be gone for good.
Just read about Amina and I am crying. Stop protecting rapists under the guise of tradition. It is just wrong.

This is completely barbaric. How can any law in the modern world allow this to happen to a child? Rest in peace poor girl.
