The child, a wife and mother - at the same time! Shocking life of girls from Guatemala.
With the permission of the parents in Guatemala can get married since 14 years. That managed to capture in a photo essay known photographer Stephanie Sinclair, strikes to the core.
The poorer the region, the more spread out there early marriage. But, unfortunately, in most cases, nothing good for the girls it does not end. They are deprived of the chance to get at least some education, and too early pregnancy without proper medical care threatens the life and health of both mother and baby. Moreover the life of these girls are completely in the hands of the older men, for which they are often no more than a servant and a toy.

In Guatemala legally marry at 14, but this is often done in the past. As a result, many girls are not old enough to understand that promises them the decision. They marry men older than themselves, that in anything they do not put. Maybe, if the law prohibits early marriage, the fate of these girls would have turned out differently? What a pity that their childhood ends so early and so abruptly.
