A superstar in her native Mauritania, Dimi is widely regarded as its best-loved female griot ­ combined musical historian, biographer, social commentator, poet, soothsayer and storyteller. Powerful, haunting vocals have won her wide critical acclaim.

She also said that women before if they don't get married at a young age that means their less beautiful ! :P ! but now in this days culture changes and  women get marry (like what i said) during the age of 16 ,17, 18 !!! She also said that she was married her first marriage at the age of 11 !

Second question was 2 years ago they change the law that women have to be 18 or older to get married ! and did that made much of a diffrence to how women in mauritania ? Dimi anwere to that question is that the law didn't change much because they still get married at any age they want ( but of course she meant something normal not age of 11 or below 15 in mauritania everything changed over time !! that was before but now women marry when their over 16,,sometimes over 20 ,it depend on the girl !

The translator is really bad, and he didn't explain what she said very well so

For who ever is interesting in this interview with this great women/singer and want to understand what was she really was saying i will translate it :)

For question that said is it unusual for women to be such a s super star ?

Dimi answer was that she was respected and that women have the right to do whatever they want to and she never had problems.
