UNICEF picture of the year features a child marriage

Under-age marriage picture wins UNICEF prize
Quote:
The image hardly fits our idea of the happy couple's wedding picture - but this haunting photograph taken in Afghanistan graphically captures life for millions of girls given in marriage while under age.
It shows Mohammed, 40, with his new 11-year-old wife, Ghulam. Taken by US photographer Stephanie Sinclair, it was named Unicef Photo of the Year yesterday.
Some 60million girls worldwide are married while still under age, according to the children's rights agency.
A picture of a boy lifting bricks on his head in Bangladesh, showing the life of one of the millions exploited as child labour, came second. It was taken by GMB Akash.
And third prize went to one taken by German photographer Hartmut Schwarzbach. It shows nine-year-old Annalyn celebrating her birthday by jumping on a sofa in the rubbish dump in Manila, Philippines, where she has lived for three years.

Re: UNICEF picture of the year features a child marriage
just another troll pointing to any and all societal ill in supposedly "Muslim countries" and blaming the Prophet or Islam itself never taking the time to apply the same standards to his own historical/social realities.

From an artistic point of view, that picture sucks..it looks like some ameuter type photo taken with a disposable camera.
