Introduction
The Oxford Dictionary defines marriage as the formal union of a man and woman, typically recognised by law, by which they become husband and wife. There is no mistake, it says man and woman, so why are there still children being married? More importantly, who are these children?
Child Brides are young women under 18 years old that have been submitted to an arranged marriage by their relatives for various reasons. They are too young to realise the importance of their marriage so they go through with the ceremony, their spouse is selected by relatives so they wed without knowing their spouse's character. There is no room for the child bride to make a decision out of love and reason, what you get is what you get.
