The marriage of minors or underage is growing rapidly on these days. Because of poverty or any other lack of substantial matters, people marry their children, they are girls of age between seven, eight or up to twelve or thirteen. If you go to refugee camps, the matter is bigger than you can imagine. For the lack of food, shelter or education, people marry their girls. Some of these girls do not know what marriage is. Greedy ones are taking the advantage of the situations. Those who are rich offer their money for a nine-year-old girl. To add more petrol to the fire, there are some people who arrange these marriages, taking the need of the family and the demand of the other side who wants to satisfy his desire.
Is it because of poverty, the absence of conscience or the wars?
Is there any remedy for this matter?

Khaili khob Saba! I guess so too. Lack of kindness can cause a lot of unpleasant things to the society. Thanks for your nice and succinct comment!

Shones leid Rose. I liked Betina Wegner voice. It's so warm and the translation of lyrics made it easy for me to understand. Your heart is very big, Rose. Those children, I mean our children like trusteeship in our hands. According to Betina's words, Kinder, they are very small helpless creatures. Their hands, mouthes, eyes, ears and backbones. Everything about them tells you about their weakness. We should take good care of them. Thanks Rose for your nice video and for the translation of that lovely song. Two thumbs up for you, my dear good friend. Thank you!

I have heard a song ... already mayn years ago. This song tells about kids and what we never should do. She wrote the song for her children, but also specially for adults.
It wasnt sung particular about that special topic but I want you to listen to it.
It's a song written by a German woman. Unfortunately, there doesn't exist an English version of that song. So I have translated the lyrics as good as I was able.

Children
Are such small hands
with such tiny fingers.
Shouldn't be beaten
because they will break then.
Are so small feet
With such little toes.
Shouldn't be kicked
Otherwise they could not go.
Are so small ears
Sharp, and you allow.
Shouldn't be shouted
because they become deaf.
Are so small mouths
Speak everything out.
May never be forbidden
because they become mute.
Are so clear eyes
which still see everything.
May never be blindfolded
They wouldn understand it.
Are so small souls
Open and quite free.
May never be tortured
They become broken by it.
It's such a small backbone
you can't hardly see.
Never may been bended
because otherwise it breaks.
The existence of straight clear people
would be a nice goal.
People without backbone
We already have too many.
Xie xie Lee! Sometimes circumstances can force the person to be in such camps, but this is not the question. The question is, what would you do if you had such an act? You never know, Mr. Lee. Life can change and change in different colors. It does not go according to our wishes. Thanks, Lee for your comment!

Hajjah mulimah ya Abdullah. Alwahid lazim yakoon natheef. We must clean ourselves from these diseases. Taking advantage of the poor is a sin. Thanks for your add and comment on that discussion!

Feelin danke Rose! Ich istemme dir zu. Such crimes should be dealt with absolute firmness and determination. Strict and harsh punishment are also necessary as you mentioned. I agree that men who commit such crimes are sick with despising behavior. The society must fight them and be clear about that kind of attitude. Unless we treat those criminals with firmness, they will continue to do their dirty work. Your opinion was very clear and right. I know a man who married a thirteen-year-old girl. He was fifty-nine. People used to say, was she his granddaughter?
