Saliha, 10
Details
Saliha was sold into marriage at age 7. "I sold my daughter due to poverty and hunger to save the life of the others," said her father, Mohammad Khan. "I feel guilty but I had no other choice." Too Young to Wed worked with the families and faith leaders to annul the marriage. Saliha, now 10 and enrolled in school, looks at her homework with her father, who is delighted by her education. "When we go in the city," he said, "my daughter tells me: here, it is written 'clinic.' Here it is written this name or that name. Me? I can't read these things. I will not marry my daughter before she finishes her studies. It's too important."
