Video transcript

She's my cousin, and to me, like a sister. She was young and cheeky and everybody loves her. She got married at twelve and he was thirty-four years old. She seemed to be happy at first, new clothes, new house, traveling here and there around the world. Not everybody gets that chance. Everybody thought she was happy but I knew she was not. She had two kids who soon grew up and left her, like her husband. She wanted to divorce but all that came was, 'no'. Her bones, heart, ached. She wanted to study but they said, 'no'. It was her own fault. She never made her husband happy so God will punish her. Living twelve years alone and still no divorce had come. To look at us together you would never believe that we were the same age. Her children don't want her, her husband doesn't want her. The face of an old woman. Was the marriage freedom because when you start saying, 'yes', you never have the power to say, 'no'. 'No' is the sound of her silent scream.
