Nada, has an 18-year-old sister who has already been engaged many times.
Her parents accepted each new proposal and took a partial down payment for a bride price.
They would then postpone the marriage until the groom had accumulated enough money before ending the engagement and keeping the down payment.
Her uncle was horrified his young niece who lived with him, his son and his elderly mother was being married off.

Her parents were not happy the engagement was called off and demanded that Nada be returned home to them.

But following her return home, Nada disappeared after her parents tried to marry her off again against her will.
When her uncle found her again, he informed authorities and Nada was eventually allowed to return to live with her uncle, her father's brother - she then posted the horrifying video online.
The practice of marrying young girls is widespread in Yemen and has drawn the attention of international rights groups seeking to pressure the government to outlaw child marriages.
Yemen's gripping poverty plays a role in hindering efforts to stamp out the practice, as poor families find themselves unable to say no to bride-prices in the hundreds of dollars for their daughters.
More than a quarter of Yemen's females marry before age 15, according to a report in 2010 by the Social Affairs Ministry.
