CHILD BRIDES

In today's world , many young people are forced to marry with elder people.As they have no rights to say stop for this situation,they have to endure.While they nothing about marriage,family;their family marry them off and some problems can occur.Firstly,girls,that are married off at very early age,don't live their children.They have responsibilities such as cleaning,washing,bringing children up.They have to do all of them,because they don't have the rights to education and working.Secondly,marriage of children is considered to be a violation of basic human rights.These include sexual or psychological abuse.Because girls that are at early age don't grow enough,the experience of pregnancy can be traumatizing for them.They are more likely to have double the pregnancy, as they can't control their urine after a period of time .This may cause death.There are reasons of early marriage.Economy and tradition are two of the reasons.Families that have economic difficulties and children excessively see marriage as a solution,and so they think that they reduce economic responsibilities.The other reason is tradition.According to the some traditions;if a girl are not marrried until she is 16,this is an an abnormal situation and it isn't accepted by the society.In some parts of the world,marriageat early age  is common such as Egypt,Afghanistan,Bangladesh.For example;in Afghanistan it is believed that between 60 and 80 percent of marriages is under the age of 16.Throughout the world, more than 51 million girls younger than 18 are married, even though it is outlawed.The more control is made,the more child marriage is prevented.

I chose this video because I thought that it would show more clear what i wrote about child brides.In this video,When Saida was 9 years old,it was represented a woman that got married sixty years old man. Although She was too young to get married, in Afghanistan this situation is different from some country.Their society and government do not accept girls that do not get married until they are 16; so they have to get married at very early age.After Saida's father had died,her brother sold her to old man as his wife despite being little.That man had a bad reputation and he sold her to different men in exchange for money.She had to be with him 7 years.What she wants is going to school because she thinks that it results from lack of education in Afghanistan.To sum up,Saida is the only one of them in Afghanistan or other part of world.There are many girls like Saida.
