Syrian Refugees' Young Brides

ZAATARI REFUGEE CAMP, JORDAN - AUGUST 2014: Rihab, 27, a Syrian refugee from Daraa, teaches a class on beauty to other Syrian refugees in a program run by the Norweigan Refugee Council at Zaatari camp in Jordan, August 27, 2014. While marriage under the age of eighteen was a common Syrian tradition before the start of the civil war, more and more Syrian girls are marrying at a younger age because of the insecurity of the war, because many families feel the girls in their family may be sexually harassed if they are not under the care of a husband, and because of prospect of alleviating the financial burden of one more mouth to feed.
