Child Bride

Let's say you're female and 15. Ready for marriage? In Niger, a poor West African country, three-quarters of girls are married before 18, most at the age of 15. Half of the girls married in India are married before 18. Girl brides often face death in childbirth and high HIV infection. The best solution? Keep the girls in school. So as you think about issues you face, be glad it's not an older man you're being married to. And why don't all of us pause a moment and pray that this practice of child brides might end.
These are the days my friend.
