Would you allow your 13-year-old to get married?

These teenagers have already tied the knot!
Video footage has emerged showing two young teenagers getting married.
At just 13 years of age, the two were married in a ceremony in China. The girl was five months pregnant at the time of the ceremony in Ding’an County, Hainan Province. However, it cannot be officially recognised because they are too young.
The wedding, which is believed to have happened last month, has sparked outrage in China.
In a complete twist, it is believed that the families of the two arranged the wedding and they were happy to see them married.
The legal age for women to get married is 20 and for men it is 22, but child marriage is ‘common’ in rural China.
Watch the ceremony below:
