Don’t you wonder why we never see the opposite of older women marrying young boys?Child marriages are a marker of poverty. Generally speaking, girls and the parents of a girl would want her to marry a man of the same generation as her.
Once the economy of Somalia rises, child marriages will be a thing of a past. You hardly see child marriages in stable societies. Child marriages are mostly common in war zones, places of drought (Somali meey for example) and other forms of instability.
Empower and educate the people and you’ll find that most parents do not like the idea of giving their daughters away to men significantly older.
