It was further reported that, the teenager was forced into an arranged marriage at the age of 14-years-old and quickly became pregnant. She was also married in a religious ceremony and gave up the ghost in a private hospital in Batman, East Turkey, on Sunday, October 17, due to complications relating to child birth.
However, the police are currently investigating what must have caused the death of the child bride. According to a gynecology expert Professor M.D. Aydan Biri, he disclosed that: “ It is dangerous for a child bride to get pregnant as the mortality rate is higher in adolescent pregnancies .”
😔Child marriage is a serious human rights violation affecting children’s and women’s rights to health, education, equality, non-discrimination and to live free from violence and exploitation.

Child marriage is gradually growing like cancer in Nigeria, the media is not talking about it as they throw emphasis on celebrity gist and lifestyles. Is seen as "their problem".
