Niger's child brides

Newsday

Available for over a year

Niger is a country with one of the highest number of child brides in the world. Three out of every four girls there are married before the age of 18. More than a third are already married by the age of 15 and many face serious health problems as a result of child birth. Newsday's Julian Keane visited a clinic in central Niamey.
