In just two days, the 12-year-old One Direction fan from Norway will tie the knot with a 37-year-old man named Geir — becoming the first-ever child bride in Norway. that’s a 25 year difference. the preteen has been blogging about it (with lots of selfies) this whole time.
Although many people have called the police and child
welfare services, others are helping on a grander scale by spreading the
word.
Plan Norway and advocates against child marriage are
encouraging people to sponsor a girl.
They're also leading the way
on a petition to
stop child marriage, which people can use the
#stopthewedding hashtag to spread.
The wedding is meant for October 11, 2014.
