secretagent09: It's lawful but that doesn't make in right
You'll see in the video how fearful this little girl is to marry a man old enough to be her grandfatherhttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/kafa-video-child-marriage-lebanon_5668a13ae4b0f290e521de48?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000592
On the plus side, she won't have to wait long to get his inheritance.
They struggle to stop these arranged marriages taking place in developed western countries amongst immigrant populations, nothing can be done to stop it in middle eastern or african countries.

I agree...it is sad that girls/women have to endure because of backward thinking...
He may be her grandfather. It's called keeping the money in the family or keep the money in the tribe. She will be giving birth in 9 months, it may kill her or the child may have issues. jmho
Now folks. Don't be so hateful. You should be embracing the "diversity" and "vitality" of these folks.

PS:secretagent. It's a Staged false wedding to bring awareness to the problem. Did you read the article? You can see how upset some of the passerbys are.

Yes Maddog, I did see how upset the passerbys were, particularly the one woman who didn't want to leave the girl with the man.
In 1958 Jerry Lee Lewis, famous for the song Great Balls of Fire, married his first cousin who was 13 years old. So even in America this nonsense went on but it doesn't anymore, unless parents give consent to the marriage.

Unbelievable how people get worked up over a staged video... not even a real news story.. another wolf whistle..
The photo shoot -- and resulting video -- was a social experiment Kafa staged to gauge Lebanese people's attitudes toward child marriage. "Kafa" is the Arabic word for "enough."

Staged or not, it happens. The purpose of the "staged marriage" is to get the opinions of the public towards this kind of marriage. If it didn't happen, there wouldn't be a need for the video or opinions.

Some people will believe anything. And while it may be happening somewhere it's not happening here and you can't prove it is..

Don't get snarky with me mr. know-it-all.
I NEVER said it is happening in the U.S. in the 21st century
Read carefully and you won't be made to see your mistakes
KremaP: Exactly Capri, it's just a drop in the ocean... And just because (most of you think) it doesn't happen in your countries it should be left alone? Oh, what solidarity for the ones that differ... Oh, it disturbed my lunch, how horrible... It happens all over Europe and the rest of the world... And , yes it is lawful for the ME and Africa...but they are still good, aren't they...?!
Legal other places not long ago ,I read a small news article last year about three child brides of American civil war veterans married in 1919 still alive and living in a rest home .

There is always something that can be done!
Don't waste your time and energy trying to change the world. Many people have tried & failed, so concentrate on the things matter to you, like your family & friends & be at peace with yourself.
