Early marriages. Dowries of cattle. Wedding promises sealed when girls are still infants. Complex arrangements involving parents and uncles and the needs of extended family to gain cows or pay off debts. All of this leaves young Sudanese girls extremely vulnerable. The dominant "cattle culture" that deems females to be worth less than livestock will change only when more and more girls become educated, recognize their human dignity, claim their voice, and assume their rightful place in civil society.
Oh, this is such a sad story, and one for which there is no short term solution. You are right, education is the only salvation but meanwhile how I wish we could have bought the cows in exchange for this young girl's freedom!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is tragic. There is some talk in Sudan now of "capping" the dowry by law, which would help a great deal by taking away some of the incentive to marry girls early.
