The legal age of marriage in Ethiopia is 18. But in the Amhara region where Taketu lives, the average age of marriage is 14.7 years. “I was 14 when I got married,“ Taketu says. ”On my wedding day, I remember thinking about my school and that I wouldn’t be able to continue my education. I didn’t know the person I was going to marry until the day of the wedding. I saw him all dressed up and thought: ‘I guess that’s the groom.’”  (Photo by Jessica Lea/UK Department for International Development) Photo used under CC BY

The Daily Quote
When a society abandons its ideals just because most people can’t live up to them, behavior gets very ugly indeed.
