Here is a link to a series of photographs titled 'Too Young to Wed' of child brides that appeared in the June Issue of National Georgraphic. While child brides are illegal in many countries the practice of marring children still takes place often in the wee hours of the night.

It's hard to imagine what it would be like to be married at 5, 10 or even 14 years old.
