8-year-old bride dies from internal injuries because of 40-year-old husband

"Parents who live in fear of poverty choose arranged marriages as a way to save their struggling families. Therefore, more young girls are being forced into arranged marriages. According to the World Health Organization, everyday 39,000 girls younger than 18 are forced to marry" This atrocity, surely only one of many, shows clearly why it's not appropriate for adults to try to have sexual relations with children. This is why we need a living income for all, so that marrying off your too-young daughter is not a choice you have to face because of your abject poverty.
