8 Year Old Girls Should be Playing House

This article came to my inbox via the organization [free-them] (www.freethem.ca).  You have to wonder about humanity when an 8 year old girl, who physically cannot bear a baby even if her body could handle sex (which it can't), is married off by her parents, those entrusted to care for her, to a man 5 times her age.  Eight year old girls should be playing house, not starting a real household!  Read the article and then click on the walkfree.org link to call on the Yemeni government to ban forced child marriage.
