We have often heard of young girls being married off before they reach puberty but in this continuing story on unusual marriage customs, older women are married to boys as young as ten years old. Once a girl turns 18, she selects a male partner that is usually younger by 6 years. She then undertakes to support her husband during the first half of her life and in return, he has to take of her in her old age. Can this custom save the tribe?
