STARVATION MAKES MOTHER TO DO THIS
The threat of hunger forced a woman in a village called Somalia to give away her daughter in exchange for dowry.
The threat of hunger forced a woman in Southern Somalia to give away her daughter in exchange for dowry of $1,000 (N303k) last year.
Speaking to a reporter, the mother, Abdir Hussein, said that her family was facing starvation when an older man offered the dowry for her 14-year-old daughter, Zeinab Hussein. Abdir said the money was enough for her and her family to travel to Dollow, a Somali town on the Ethiopian border where aid workers distributed food and water to drought-stricken families.
