Sale Of 16 Year Old Child Bride Slips Through Facebook Crack
- 5 years ago
A South Sudanese family auctioned off their 16-year-old daughter to marry the highest bidder.
Facebook says that it removed the post and permanently disabled the account...
...But that took place more than two weeks after the girl had been given away, reports Business Insider.
South Sudan's legal marriage age is 18, but more than half of the country's girls are married before then.
The family managed to complete the transaction before anybody could stop it.
