Just because some cultures still exploit young people does not make it right, physically bodies can be unable to take the outcome of marriage at a young age, not to be too graphic it leads to severe complications and injury.

My heart goes out to your grandmother who sounds a wonderful woman, however I can't condone what you suggest was her decision yes she lived a good life however that was in spite of the start she had, not because of it.

I should like to ask her and other child brides if they had the choice then to wait as we do now would they?

That's the twisted thing about it all ,these girls bodies HAVEN'T developed propely , otherwise so many wouldn't be dying in child birth after perverts have used them .

Girls as young as 9 !!! Are being exploited in these places .
