Some societies around the world let young girls to wed men who are usually five times their age.
The girl is too young, which is one issue for those of us who oppose arranged weddings.
She is physically too young to handle the sexual “duties” of a wife, and she is too young to comprehend what is happening to her.
Yemen, according to CNN, is one nation that does not yet have laws establishing a minimum marriage age.
In Yemen, a girl of eight years old was arranged to marry an older man.
She died after being raped by him on their wedding night.
