In plenty of countries all over the world, forced marriages are just part of tradition. The parents of the girls pick out their daughters husbands and arrange the marriages. In countries like Bangladesh, Niger, Chad, Mali, parts of Africa, and parts of Asia, forced marriages are just like marriages in any other country.Most the girls that are forced into marriages are married by the age of 18 depending on the country you are from and live in.
Sometimes if the girls choose not to go through with the marriages, they are disowned by their families and they are forced to pay their parents back the money for the wedding that never happened.
Usually younger the girls marry there is a higher chance of them being taken advantage of by their husbands because they will be more forgiving to what their husbands do including: mental abuse, emotional abuse, physical abuse, or sexual abuse.
