Take a picture.

This picture is beyond disgusting...I am sure most of those girls think that they are just playing dress up.  Should their childhood be taken away at such a young age, without ANY say in the matter?

I find this picture is just rather interesting,  It is hard to read the opinions/feelings/expressions of both parties.  It is obvious, neither look very happy about their situation.

This picture breaks my heart.  This girl was a surprise marriage that took place in a remote village, I want to say, in Yemen.  She is roughly 5 years old, and she was wed at the same time of one of her cousins.

This picture is one of the most striking.  It is clear the man is old enough to at least be her father, maybe grandfather.  The girl is obviously joking and kidding around - I don't know, acting like a young girl and having fun!

This is a very depressing picture for me.  The way the men stand behind the women and sort of looking over them show their power over the young women.  Also, none of the parties look overly happy either.

Here are just a few pictures of some child brides.  A simple Google search, but nonetheless effective way to see some of the age differences, and maturity levels, of the brides and grooms.

  1. Have the pictures been verified to depict actual child brides?
