Own opinion:
I find a child aged ten is still a child. Thus having a
child while he/she is still a child is unacceptable. I believe children should
enjoy their time of being a child and not have the responsibilities of looking
after a child. I think it is insane for a parent to let his/her child get
married at such a young age. But unfortunately this ‘forced marriage and get
babies as soon as possible’ action is seen in many countries and some people
will not change their ways of thinking. I think that some of these youngster do
not exceed in their abilities and miss a lot of wonderful experiences in their
lives.

I was really shocked when I read this article. She says that she didn’t want the same thing for her daughter, but then she lets her daughter marry a boy when she is only ten years old! There should be a law that prevents things like this.
