| Very disturbing image of a 51 year old getting to marry an 8yr old child in the rural Damarda Village, Afghanistan |
While the International
Day of the Girl Child was going on yesterday October 11 to mark and draw attention to the problem of
child brides, some photos emerged with the help of the photojournalist Stephanie Sinclair who teamed up with National Geographic
to create a series of heart-breaking and polling photos clearly showing girl children as young
as five years old being married off to middle-aged men in countries like
India, Yemen and Ethiopia. Please see more after the cut and share your views and comments on this ...
