Kenya: At 16, Nuria Gollo found herself in a forced marriage, a few months after surviving female genital mutilation. Every girl was facing the cut and she certainly did not find anything wrong with it.

However, her marriage to an elderly man did not last. They were divorced two years later and after bringing forth a baby girl. Nuria says there was no love between them since the arrangement was only convenient for her parents — to create them more wealth.
