Child marriages on rise in Yemen, girls forced to marry after 12 years
I want to share this intriguing news I read today about these young girls in Yemen who was force to marry after they 12 years. This is a serious violation to human rights and children rights. They just wanted to enjoy a peaceful life as a normal teenager but they force to marry at a very young age. According to UNICEF marriage under the age of 18 is a violation to human rights but in Yemen due to poverty number of parents are offering their daughters for a bride price. This seems to have led to a corresponding rise in violence against women.
