Fourteen year-old Aberash was abducted from her village in Ethiopia's 'Wild South' and raped by a 28 year-old man. This effectively meant that she became that man's wife, in a tradition so old that nobody knows when it began.
Aberash stole a gun from her 'husband' and managed to escape. When he gave chase, he shot and killed him and was arrested for murder. The outcome of her trial would have repurcussions for young girls throughout Ethiopia.
