How on earth can an 11-year-old make such a decision? I have helped over 42 girls get out of forced marriage, most are under 16 and I have yet to see one want to get married.

The UK government has raised the marriageable age from 16 to 18 to help stop this and I congratulate them for this. However, I think more work needs to be done.
