    Marrying a child is …
    Marrying a child is not right. These girls need equal protection under the law. I would like to work as a human rights advocate. I read a story about a 8 year bride from Yemen. She was forced into marriage by her father to a 30 year old man. She wanted to play in the garden and the husband beat her and forced her to have sex with him. Until the Middle Eastern gov’t is reformed. These girls need a 1-way ticket out of their country.
