The Hopeless Plight Of Young Indian Girls
Following an out-of-court settlement, an eight year old Saudi girl, has received her divorce from her 50 year old husband. Earlier the court had refused the girl's mother the right to apply for a divorce until her daughter reached puberty. The girl's father had forced his young daughter into marriage, for an exchange of US$ 13,000. Saudi Arabia has been receiving increasing pressure through child marriages, as there are no age limits.
Matters are worse however, in India. Forced into marriage at the age of around 6 – 8 years of age, a mother by the age of 12 and body ravaged by multiple pregnancies by the age of 20. It is not unknown for a young woman in India to have a hysterectomy by the age of 23.
Manemma, a child bride says "When I was getting married, I had no idea what was going on. I was only six years old and all I knew was that I had to leave home. I cried and cried and said I didn't want to, but they made me".
Girls are expected to cope with their situation and to fall pregnant the moment they reach puberty. Nearly 300,000 girls give birth under the age of 15, many for the second time, according to a census.
A young girl in the village of Kottaiyur Kollai, was married at the age of 10. At 20 she has five surviving children. Mallamma is 20, married at age 12 and has 6 surviving children. Malli married at age 8, has 8 children.
With underdeveloped bodies, that are often malnourished, early childbirth for these girls often proves to be a death sentence. Around 100,000 mothers and one million babies die each year in India. Doctors report there are many cases of rape of prepubescent girls.
The May festival of Akshaya Tritiya, is the most auspicious day in the year for weddings. The streets echo to the loud cacophony of steel bands, firecrackers and women's voices singing as they prepare young girls to meet their not-seen-before new husbands. The girls will never be given the chance to continue their education in their in-law's homes. Marriage enters them into a live sentence of slavery to their mother-in-law and ill-treatment from their husbands. The girls have nothing more to look forward to than repeated pregnancies and unremitting childcare, if they manage to live through their first pregnancy.
Marriages are known to take place with four year old girls. All this in spite of the fact that child marriages are illegal in India and unregistered, where social customs are stronger than the law. Ancient texts claim that a girl who has fully arrived at puberty should be avoided as a wife. Some even consider it a sin to keep a girl in her parental home after she has attained puberty.
When a young woman has no strength left to conceive and not able to work in the fields, the husband throws her out. Young girls continue to be cheated out of their childhood, for a life that has no future.

What books would you recommend to an 13 year old girl who is learning English as a second language?
What books would you recommend to an 13 year old girl who is learning English as a second language? The purpose is to stimulate her interest in English, enlarge her vocabulary and learn more grammar. The girl is kinda intimidated whenever she is required to speak English in class.
Thanks.
The book "Star Girl" would be a great book. I'm 13 as well and English is my second language! It's not that hard once you have a bunch of friends around you that speaks the language your trying to learn. Well anyways,I read the book before and it was amazing! I thought the book would be lame due to the book cover or the lack of illustrations on it! I was terribly wrong it's one of my favorite books!GOOD LUCK!
I would love to be her friend and help her out as well if we speak the same language! (:
