GIRL BRIDE! 40 YEAR OLD MAN MARRIES 11 YEAR OLD

The headline is like something out of a bad horror movie. But unfortunately it’s true. An Afghanistan girl was forced to marry a 40 year-old man.
The 11 year-old girl told the reporter taking the picture that she was sad to be engaged because she would have to leave school.
She’s one of 52 million child brides around the world. Nearly one third of those child brides come from India each year. Out of that one third 126,000 will die in child birth every year. Photographer Stephanie Sinclair has traveled around the world documenting the atrocity.
Sinclair was asked if the child brides were forced to consummate the marriage. Sinclair said the men told her they had to wait to consummate the marriage but the women pulled her aside and told her the grooms were indeed having sex with the young girls.
