No.

There's no question that these families are doing this because they have to do it. They have been put in a situation of complete desperation, and they see very little choices.

But child marriage is a very serious problem. In that case, you saw the story of Rehana, how she's lost autonomy, she's lost control over her own body, her own life. She probably wasn't able to make that decision truly willingly.

But we found in our research on while marriage all over the world that this really is just the beginning of the problem. Girls who are married very young, almost always, they have worse health outcomes. They often have very serious problems with giving birth because their bodies are not ready for it yet.

They often lose much of their education, if not all of the rest of it, after they get married. And they are often at risk of much higher levels of domestic violence. And this is a problem all over the world.

It's a really serious issue, and it's something that needs to be tackled. And it's — like the sex trafficking, which your reporter also looked at, of Rohingya women and girls, it's yet another level of human rights abuses against this population who has suffered so much already.
