A 12-year-old girl was saved from marrying a 70-year-old man just moments before the wedding ceremony.
Two months ago, Amira was the most excited she felt in months. Her brother was getting married, she was told, so the family were preparing to head to Garissa Town, a Kenyan county adjacent to the Somalia border, for celebrations, reports the Daily Mirror.
“I had a new dress to wear, they were putting henna on my hands. It was going to be a celebration, I was looking forward to eating lots of food,” she said.
