Summary :
Teenagers and young women are still constrained to marry a man they neither choose, nor even met.

The first part of the video shows a bride on balancing on a wire, reflecting her uncertain future. Her fall is the symbol of all these married women that enter into this life of submission and abuses.

The second part of the video examines the protests of these women against violence, and their struggle for their rights.

The Conservative rejects their claims as a Western theory whose Universalist pretentions reflects an ethnocentric prejudice.

In our own societies, we saw actions against the dignity of women and their liberty becoming acceptable in front of the occidental courts: lay judges did not dare to condemn these barbarians’ practices against women because of a biased understanding of the concept of multiculturalism.

From the daughter of a men to the spouse of another, the subordinate and inferior position of women goes against all our laws.
