Girlchild

One of the problems and challenges girl's face in Africa is early marriages,they are most times forced to get married when young just because bad conditions at home, because parents need bride wealthy so they tend to sell them,I don't know how girl's are treated in different areas of the world,but all I plead is that we make home safe for the girls and we help them pursue education and dream big!

The girls are happiness in life. They are some ones you can look forward to look after you in your old age. If they are treated badly by their own near and dear ones, they don't know how unfortunate they are.

Who has to pay for the dowry? The bride or the man?

so if parents only have sons, they need to pay the girl's family so their sons can marry?

I know all about that and hope gender equality will change in Africa. It's such a shame.

It's a crime and the responsible adults should be punished by law.
