India: recorded the highest rate of child marriage.
Followed by … Bangladesh, Brazil, Ethiopia ….
In our time, however, the countries where a girl's right is most violated by marrying her off as a minor are the countries that host large numbers of refugees, such as the camps in Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon and elsewhere.
But the cause is not these refugees; the cause lies in what the refugees have lived through: wars, displacement and killing.
And also the harsh living conditions they have experienced, which forced parents to marry their daughters off at very young ages, believing that by doing so they would be relieved of worry for their daughters, of their expenses and of other burdens.
But they do not realise the darkness of the road onto which that wronged girl has been thrown, or the amount of harm that has befallen her.
