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.
Internal hemorrhage was the reason of her death. In Yemen, some people are against arranged marriage.
The death rate in that nation is the highest in the world. There won’t be many women left to give birth if this continues.
According to the White Ribbon Alliance, one in nine Yemeni women will pass away during childbirth. According to the White Ribbon Alliance, a healthy world will result from having moms in good health.
According to their website, they want to ensure that women are aware of their rights regarding their safety and well-being prior to becoming pregnant.
The National Safe Motherhood Alliance (NSMA), a White Ribbon Alliance affiliate, is attempting to initiate a dialogue regarding this matter in Yemen.
Hopefully, government representatives will be receptive to hearing these groups’ concerns. Laws must be put in place to safeguard Yemen’s women and young girls.
