9 year old Bride....not what you think!

I saw there was video on CNN yesterday, but couldn't find an article. I feel like I've heard this story before though. I think I've seen something on TV about it.

How bittersweet.....when you hear stories like this, it really makes you appreciate your health and the health of all those around you....

i thought it was illegal to get married before a certain age. I know without parent consent you need be around 17 or 18, but even WITH consent, I still thought there was an age limit, like 15 or 16. Not sure.

Either way, this is a sad story

I dont think it was a legally bound marriage. They just wanted her to experience her own wedding.

aww. Yeah, that's probably it. I think that's really sweet of them to do that for her. i'm sure it meant a lot.
