"TOO YOUNG TO WED"

Every year, throughout the world, millions of young girls are forced into marriage. Child marriage is outlawed in many countries and international agreements forbid the practice yet this tradition still spans continents, language, religion and caste. This project investigated the phenomenon of child marriage in India, Yemen, Afghanistan, Nepal and Ethiopia over an eight-year-period.
