Child Bride

Child Bride

Weddings are supposed to be a memorable day, when you celebrate all the good things and not 
the bad. Celebrating the bride and groom on their special day should be full of happiness, however 
in this image it seems to me that this bride does not look happy and joyful at all. I can tell by her 
face that she doesn't look happy in any kind of way. In fact she looks like she is scared and 
terrified about making a commitment to her marriage with an elderly man.

In the background it seems to me that this marriage is taking place on some sort of bridge, which 
has locks on it called “Love locks”. The bride or bride to be is holding a bunch of beautiful colourful 
flowers, and she is wearing a bright floral white dress that gives you a hint that she is getting married.The man next to the woman is wearing a black and white tuxedo, with a flower on his left outside 
pocket. The woman looks nervous and depressed all in one, but the man of course looks like he is 
getting on with his day and he looks quite happy.

The background slowly fades away as the magnificent bright burning sun shines upon the bride and 
groom. The elderly man looks as if he’s in his sixties, yet he is marrying a young beautiful girl that is way too young for him to marry. As the elderly man gives the girl a grin on his face, the girl’s 
expression on her face tells you that she is horrified, and looks kind of scared and afraid of this man.

Is is right is it fair? For an older man to marry an underaged beautiful girl. In my opinion, no I think 
that this is all wrong, unless the younger woman would want to marry an older man than that is 
totally up to her. In this image this girl looks unhappy and devastated, so I think that she was forced 
by the man to get married to him. Maybe he wants someone young to marry him so then in the
future when he starts getting old she will look after him and do everything for him.
