Who has the facts?

The difficult thing about “writing the facts” is to know what is fact and what isn’t. While researching Nujood’s story, I noticed several different conflicting stories about the facts about Nujood, the marriage, and the trial. These are some of the facts I gathered from various articles from CNN.com, The New York Times, Time Magazine, Glamour Magazine and the book “I am Nujood, Ten Years old and Divorced” co-written by Nujood Ali and Delphine Minoui.
