But if this does not stop she will be just as happy as those women arround her. I'm absolutely convinced they were just as sad as her when they got married
How could the government allow this kind of evil , these men that engaged in this criminal behavior are rapist and how could any parent do such evil for money or assets I ame literally sick to my stomach I cannot say what the consequences should be for these animals
Exactly, let's call it by its name he is a pedophile. He actually took the initiative to go talk to that 14 yo child's grandmother and "buy" himself a new wife as if she was a comodity. The girl's family is equally guilty, of course.
It's disgusting to think that the poor girl is going to have sex with that old man. It bothers me to see those women teaching her what to do and even being happy about it. Disgusting just disgusting.
Those same old men treat them like they are not human beings its alleged that they abuse them terrible this break these young girls n it's breaks our hearts these are innocent children who didn't even get to live like young girls this is terrible
agreed. the word "lady" have a meaning, even tho in modern days it usually used as "female". you're not born as a lady, you need to work to become one.
A person who is able to have a child is not a child anymore. She is not full grown, but an 18 year old is also not full grown. The only problem with this marriage is that she is not asked for her consent.
It's hard to bear this life when the entire culture around you endorses it. How could she leave and where could she go?? The big luxury of the Western World is choices for women, and independence and a society that backs it up. So grateful, forever grateful.
Thinking that a 14y old girl wants (by free will) to marry a 48y man is incredibly sade. @1:24 its illigal! Poor girl is an object at service to a man; her emotions, needs and rights are not considered.
This is one of the saddest things I've ever seen...She's not a married woman,, she's a traumatized, violated child.😭. God help these children... Justice for these abused girls!!!!
It's so sad but so true. I've watched sooo many interviews with horrible people right before death etc and they still seemed way more alive. She seemed so blank, defeated and depressed
@@tarahill308 predator? I really cannot stand self-righteous, pompous westerners who don’t know a world outside your little western bubble. All you’re doing is virtue signaling to make yourself feel good without actually understanding what is going on here. Please get educated.
To the 48yo "man": why don't you learn how to do your own chores? Answer: he just wants a young virgin to have sex with and control. That's why he said no to school. Utterly disgusting. Dialess is obviously dying inside while everyone celebrates. Horrible. My heart breaks for her and my soul cries for all those young girls.
Disgusting, abusive, and I just have a hard time believing these uncles don’t understand it’s wrong, rather the uncles and the community who are in agreement, see it as a convenience for personal gain for all parties involved. Which is WICKED because as adults who have lived a full enough life, the sadness in her eyes is being PURPOSELY IGNORED . Tough reality.
@@ingiyan8741 you are right, it is absolutely unbelievable how the whole community takes part in this crime! How can they turn a blind eye to a child suffering from such trauma?
@@ingiyan8741They know EXACTLY what they’re doing. They’re not stupid , they’re PR3D4T0R$, doing pr3d4t0rÿ things, knowing they can get away with it where they live at! My heart aches for these girls, because omg…🤦🏾♀️
@@tylerjmastrecognizing emotions in another human beings expressions isn’t projection, it’s basic human social skills. Not the same thing at all at anthropomorphizing animals. I’m sorry you lack the capacity to tell the difference but this is something most humans can do.
This has more to do with ignorance than tradition. The school girls in the class room stated they would rather stay in school than marry. If a small child knows this, why can’t the adults figure it out.
I lost it after learning she was tutoring at 14, obviously an extremely bright person, yet her family needs money so they sell her and rip her future out from under her feet. I can't understand.
Of course you can understand! When you have been robbed of all your natural resources by another race of people on the richest continent on the planet people tend to do crazy things!
While I agree, that is a pretty simple take on a very complex issue. If her mother dies and she is not married to a suitable man, it could also result trauma and disability, possibly even contracting HIV herself because she will not have any protection. These people seem to understand it is wrong or at least not ideal, but they see it as the lesser of two evils. The mother genuinely seems to want to protect her children. Not only does this give her one less mouth to feed, but it gives her means to feed her other children. This is compounded by the fact that she is likely a single mother, or will become one soon. Until you can provide another path out of poverty, treatment for HIV, access to maternal and general healthcare, and alteration of long, engrained, traditions, this will be an intractable problem. This is a multifaceted systemic issue, not about teaching people that marrying children is wrong. Age of consent isn’t a universal law handed down from on high, it’s one we as societies have decided for ourselves. Even in places where the law agrees with you, if culture and circumstance doesn’t agree, it will keep happening. This is an absolutely tragedy, but we shouldn’t be treating these people like they simply don’t know better. It’s a horrific decision they feel they are forced to make.
@@Tinyvalkyrie410stop trying to glorify/make excuses for this backward practice. It is 💯 wrong for a 48 yr old to marry a 14 yr old CHILD!!!! Did the child's mother not contract hiv/aids from her married 1st husband. God forbid the same could happen to this child. SO WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!!!. How about the government, those in power try to eradicate poverty, better education for girls/women living in poverty etc... instead of trying to justify this nonsense.
Exactly, I couldn’t even participate in such a documentary. All’em would be gettin swung on and LOCKED UP. It doesn’t make any sense smh it’s sickening that this continues
as a Zambian, this has left me in tears. The girl deserves better. that man is a demon. he couldn't even answer when he was asked why go for such a young girl and not someone older😭
Not everyone in Zambia has a straightforward education. Some children have to come out of school for a time to let a sibling learn. But many countries have a system of educating adults. Often in the evenings when the days work is done. Let's hope for the future and work where possible.
Yes he did, he said poverty drives people and he could provide for her. Basically she was cheaper than an older girl whose parents are not as poor as this girl's mother is.
She is a child not a woman, he is a predator who can’t control his lust. He should be in jail, protect children and females/women lives all over the world.
How? The only way to stop this disgusting crap is the one way you will not support because trying to reason with people entrenched in this mentality is pointless. Some "cultures" and "traditions" should be left in the dark ages where they belong. I thank God I wasn't born on that continent. Odds are, I wouldn't have been born in one of the countries not doing this perverted sht.
This happened all the time especially in African countries because of tradition and poverty. I was doing missionary work in Africa. I saw a very beautiful little girl, the way she looked at me with pain in her eyes. I asked about adopting her, I was told she will be married to a 54 year old man. She was sold to him before she was born. The marriage will take place once she's 12 years old!!!
The way they all smile as she sits there clearly traumatized about what's about to happen to her. The life of the cow will be better than the life of this child and these women are celebrating it! Ugh!!! This is infuriating. Isn't this considered a humanitarian crisis?
' we found that the GIRLS looked up to somebody to fill in the space and buy them simple things. Then the GIRLS fall out of school and find themselves marrying older man'!!! @15:02 According to that woman, the problem starts from the young poor girls and the older ritcher men are just there. What I saw is a traumatized 14y old how wanted to stay in school and a 48y man looking for a young child to replace his sick wife.
He admitted hes marrying her so he doesn't have to do chores when his other wife is sick! Then he claims he's actually doing her a favor. What a sick and disturbed person
And buying a child and being a predator is even more sick. What kid of monster find joy in SA a child? Like, how can you look at yourself and go to sleep at night.
Every woman on this planet is a soldier.. to survive men. Even the western women that you all preach hate towards for our “ freedoms”. This young girl is more of a soldier than the little boys and grown men who go “ fight each other” for absolutely nothing. She is a true warrior.
@@AmberColeman-gq1wn don't disrespect the soldiers in the military who are dying everyday in the thousands, its true these girls are warriors, but dying in a cold battlefield is very different to this
Patriarchic societies at the cost of women. Not only in africa, middle east all over Asia. Even when they live in Europe they continue such traditions although the money argument is not valid anymore.
If a man can’t do simple chores HOW TF!!!!! is supposed to be a leader!!!!???? Uuuuughhh I’m so mad!!!! This is so stupid!!!it’s not about no damn chores it’s about his stupid ass ego and 🍆😒🙄😤😡
Absolutely. It truly gives you some perspective of how good we have it over here. I would never allow my daughter to marry at 14, let alone a 40+ yo man.
It's kind of the point of this video. To show how different people around the world live, it's kind of an honor. What you're watching, I don't know how many westerners get to see this. This is their culture. This is how they do it. They're very proud of who they are. They've been doing this for centuries.
This is illigal in Zambia, I'm actually handing this video to the police and the organization that handle these situation. As a zambian this is disturbing. In tbis day and age this shouldn't happen
They traded their daughter,her life and education for a cow?😭😭 I'm literally sick to my stomach thinking of what she's going through in that predator and his wife's hands
I’m not trying to minimize how heartbreaking of a situation this is, but it’s not just trading their daughter for a cow. Cattle in many third world countries can be the means to escape death by starvation for many families. Even having just one cow can make a life or death difference. It’s a very sad situation all around.
Her poor TERMINALLY ILL single mother wanted her daughter to have a husband to take care of her. It is easy to push school as some way out of poverty but unrealistic in a village like that, there isn't anything there and her poor family can't afford to send her somewhere to further her education. Having a husband provide for her was always her best option considering where she lives.
@MA-mh1vs yes but she is 14 and he is 48... I don't understand why they think it's OK to marry their underaged daughter off to a predator...or at least get a young one!
@@kpoppy9635 It may not be the families preference to do so but poverty is what drives them to do so. In this particular case the mother also wanted to ensure her daughter was provided for because she is dying from aids and a husband is the best way to ensure that. I have watched the coverage of parents in the middle east doing the same just to afford firewood and food to feed the kids they have left. The people seeing this video will likely never know what it is like to be that impoverished but that is the reality for some people.
My daughter is 14 years old. I can’t stop crying for this little girl. She looks so sad and gone at the same time. Already defeated in her future. How much ignorance and suffering for woman can be. How can we help fighting this horrific tradition. No teen would like to be a wife. It just break my heart.
This girl should still be in middle school. Why they keep calling her a young lady. She's is a CHILD. If she was born in USA she would be an 8th grader just starting pre algebra. She would no different to the children you see waiting for the school bus every morning. Why is the world so cruel. This poor girl was born in the wrong environment. And I'm sure the village women are lovely , and seem to mean well. But in reality those women are all victims. Every single one of them, they just don't know it because they been also brainwashed and abused. Just an endless cycle of abuse. And there nothing we can do about it at the moment. They probably see it as westerners ruining their precious cultures and traditions. Hence the whole colonizer debate. We can only look from afar and cry. I feel so hopeless. That poor girl face will haunt me. I'm so sad because we will never see her again and never get an update on her. I doubt another journalist will visit that village anytime soon. This is so sad. I just hope she is safe and is doing well now. 😢
One of the scariest parts was when she asked that monster about Dailess and school, he momentarily dropped the façade of being an innocent savior. "It's out of the question". He said it with such underlying offence as if the concept of her happiness and freedom is unheard of. He cares nothing about her wellbeing or future. He wouldn't be marrying her if he did. He just wants everyone else to believe that so he gets a live in maid. My heart breaks for her. :(
The emptiness in her eyes when she answers questions says enough. You can tell she has almost accepted her life is over, like she is processing the shock and giving up, shutting down. The hopelessness consumes her. I hope she finds a way for her and her child to escape that misery.
When the journalist asks the husband, will you allow her to go back to school, he says "no no no school" a life confined to a prison. That is so wrong.
I'm Zambian but raised in the US. My mom always told me how my grandfather went against societal norms esp with raising his daughters. He made them go to school and such initiations were not a common place. It was harsh but he didn't let that influence him. And now his daughters are all educated and escaped all of this. No matter what, you can always break the cycle and create another one. I live for VICE news and their documentaries seeing my country this way is heartbreaking.
I live in lusaka, and my girlfriend was also one of the lucky ones who was able to finish school. She's now working on her bachelor degree. But it's not uncommon today that girls do finish school. But few continue into higher learning, like bachelor or masters degrees.
Yeah it's actually against the law didn't they change it to 21 it's sad I recently watched a girl who was stopped by the chief... The two children really wanted to get married I wish they spoke about the sexual promiscuity in that part of the country many other girls drop out of school because they want to this putting those who don't in hard position...
The look on her face during the interview was heartbreaking. The way she answered the questions. She’s dying inside and I don’t understand how the people in power anywhere can let this happen
This must be brought to an end, these children's rights have been violated before they even know it, it's all so wrong what the poor kids go thru, having to drop out of school for marriage just because her family is poor, a big NO, this must be stopped
these stupid traditions never think of this. in trinidad, the age of marriage rose from 12 to 18 only a decade ago. the worst victim married an old man at 12, and he died. now she has 15 kids of varying ages to take care of, all depressed from being raised this way
The moment when he said school is out of the question because she is getting married tore my heart apart. How disturbing it is that she's surrounded by elders who went through the same ordeal and still be so far from help. May The Lord be with you my precious sister.
@@adjustableWenchvery true it's been happening for centuries and it's understandable to ask how the Lord can allow it. it's now gaining attention as such practices are coming to light where help can be attracted.
@@adjustableWench Humans were given free-will by the Lord which is how the men are able to exert their free-will and control women. I hope the women will learn how to exert their "OWN" free will and be free from control.
She's in a trance and she's broken. But in these situations if she is rejected by the husband he will unalive her and her family will not take her back if that happens. She's been bartered. This is so sad. 😢
Damn the trance is real! She is literally reciting what they told her . She can’t even answer the question about “ what it would be like to have a kid “ bc they haven’t yet explained that! She is a fucking kid !!
The mother's reasoning makes no sense to me. She became HIV+ when her husband cheated on her. So she goes and arranged a marriage for her 14 year old daughter to a 48 year old man because she wants to keep her safe??????????????? 🙄🙄😒😒
She's uneducated and lacks critical thinking. 😢 the man already has another wife so she doesn't realize it's the same risk for hiv and the man says the wife is ill.
Slavery didn't start in the southern plantations of the US. Slavery is very much still alive throughout the world. Being traded for payment to a 40 year old man. Lord have mercy. Sexual trauma is not being considered.
The sadest thing is that this man agreed that marrying this child is bad but he's doing it anyway because of poverty of the girl's family. Shame on him. I hate that people can choose to do evil because they can get away with it.
Look up the laws for females at any age level that is allowable for marriage in America you will be surprised there are laws on the books there are still law of the land that goes so far way back
My aunt was 15 when she married her 26yr old husband, unfortunately he died last month at age 78 and they were married for 50 something years. And have a very large family kids grandkids great grandkids.
It happens alot in northern Nigeria trading thier daughters for money and food for men up to 40 yrs and above and yet still this girls get maltreated and beaten they don’t let them go to school only to bare children this happens in most of Africa mostly the northerners and Muslim
I’m sooo enraged 👿👿👿 I thank GOD I was born in the states where I can choose my own damn husband. This is child molestation, these men are predators… and honestly most men feel this way they just can’t act on it because of laws where they live

@@lennysabi4173 l commented for this parent in particular not parents. And why l commented is because during the interview the girl said she would have loved to go to school.
@@EoDnhoJ-JohnDoE that’s their culture unfortunately and it conditions your thinking. It’s all that she knows. I’m not saying it’s right but you have to look at it from that perspective too
@@EoDnhoJ-JohnDoEDid you even watch the video before commenting? Her mother literally explained that she has HIV and in her mind, this marriage will give her daughter a home and means of living when she dies, and hopefully prevent her daughter from contracting AIDS by being committed to only one man. We know in reality that this girl may very well contract AIDs anyway if her husband cheats, and that this situation is far worse than if she were allowed to continue school and pursue higher education, but this is what the mother legitimately thinks. Many people in countries like Zambia have barely gone more than 10km from their own villages. The roads are so bad it's hours just to get to a hospital. The school is right next to their homes. They live off the land. They have no reason to leave and experience new things, nor the means to. They don't see other ways of living, all they know is what they, their grandmothers, mothers, sisters, and other women in the community went through, so it seems normal to them. You tell a kid about Santa Claus and they believe it 100%, until they get old enough to catch on that it's just the adults pretending and lying to make the holiday more fun, and to trick kids into acting good in hopes of getting what they want. What happens if every adult legitimately believes in Santa Claus and the whole community agrees he is real? Wel, most people would never question it or think otherwise. That's how culture works. Just replace "Santa Claus" with any religion, or even a philosophy like communism, and you'll see my point. When you're told something since birth, and everyone around you believes and practices it, you will too. There will always be a few exceptions, but the majority of people believe what their culture/society tells them to believe. Especially in other societies where the focus is often more on community than individuality, which is the norm in a lot of Africa and Asia, as opposed to our very individual rights focused western culture.
I'm Leaticia from zambia. I'm in my first year at the copperbelt university. It's saddening to see that this is happening in the other part of my country. I will make sure I accomplish my dream of becoming and engineer and start working towards ending early marriage and child marriage in my country. We are the future leaders of tomorrow ❤
If anyone should be a activist it's should be against these old men who want to marry children. That's gross and hopefully you can be a advocate for this. Good luck.
I am going to say a special prayer for you to succeed in your education so you will have the fortitude to advocate for these girls. Stories like these give me sleepless nights...I am truly having difficulty processing the information...actually, I just cannot understand any of this, my heart pains me much. I am not anywhere near the continent and thank GOD we have human rights here. The world is truly an ugly place, yet so beautiful...OMGOODNESS!
She asked him why can’t he marry some one older and he gave every reason for her to be married to him vs why he desires to marry a child. It’s sick. He’s sick. I don’t care about culture, that’s just wrong. If it was about chores and such then just choose another older woman. It was more than that. I hate this for her. Her grandma and mom ain’t no better. A cow for my child. 😢this burns me up inside.
He wants her to care for his wife who’s going to become ill, that there on its own means something 🚩in a country with a high rate of HIV infection. That little girl is still going to go through so much trauma with caring for that disgust& his wife, & will be forced to take care of her mom at home as well
Fact of the matter is that culture is simply a word that means the collective behaviors and practices of a group, and culture can in fact be harmful, both to individuals or the society in general. Foot binding or corsets for example, are cultural practices that can cause physical harm and deformity. Criticizing culture isn't inherently a bad thing. Women in the west still wouldn't receive education if our societies didn't question that culture.
Its a part of their culture , you are just judging them by Western standards , do you think this practice is new ? No its 100s and 100s of years old if not more
That poor girl was dead inside, and completely miserable. Imagine being surrounded by no one who cares and then a strange foreigner covered in make up with a camera crew shows up and asks you how you feel...just soul killing...
Her light went out as soon as she found out she was to be married i pray she finds strength to be whatever kind of woman SHE wants to be . Bless that baby 💗
Regrettably, this is a widespread concern that often lacks the immediate attention required to prevent young girls from being compelled into such situations. I have authored a book titled Ntandokazi; a fictional book that delves deeply into the experiences and emotions of a child bride, exploring her life both before and after the "marriage."
I am Zambian, and this is very sad, most girls live their lives for men in these rural areas, they do not have their own identity. when i was in grade seven most of my female classmates dropped out of school because they had reached puberty and had to be taught how to "please" their husbands and were later on married off. Women are more than just a chores person, Wife and a Mother!! Women are Smart and can contribute to the advancement of the country. I thank God that most advanced places in Zambia are empowering women and i hope places like the one in the video can be visited and enlightened. and we appreciate the effort those ladies are putting in to curb that mindset If Educating women is not TRADITIONAL, then we refuse TRADITION, child Marriage must come to an end!!!
just because its tradition or religion or culture it make it right to degrade these girls to the point of commodity its time zambia progressed and put more value into fellow humans this has had me in tears ive 4 sisters who i love dearly one of them is just 13 not so different from dialess i couldnt shading tears and being so angry with my countries leadership that such is still happening while their little girls get to attend the best schools in the country and drive expensive cars they steal from us they lie to us they use us stepping stones for their monetary benefit whilst our sisters are being raped and sold like slaves. These same leaders claim to chistians if jesus christ had to come today what you will they tell him. they all qoute Kenneth Kaunda but fail him ridiculously. these issues could have been resolve with the money they take from our hard working citizen but they instead fatten their own pockets. KENNETH IS NOT RESTING IN PEACE THIS HAS BROKEN ME
Misogyny is such a poison. It's logical that supporting EVERYONE will improve the nation as a whole. More innovation, more freedoms, more joy. But these men are so addicted to misogyny that they would drag the whole nation down just to feel power over women and girls.

Being a father, it is extremely painful to imagine that somebody can that my 15 year-old daughter just through this foolish African traditions... These traditions are long overdue and need strong Pan-African advocacy against. This is one main reason why most of Africa is underdeveloped.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said that to raise a daughter with love and respect is a blessing in this life and the next. Thank you for being a concerned father.
There are so many problems here and it saddens me. The biggest one is they think a short fix ( selling your daughter for money) will fix a long term problem ( poverty) but instead they are in a never ending cycle that is passed on from generation to generation. These women who think it’s okay, because their mothers did it , just kills me .
These poor souls don't know any better especially if they don't have a proper education. All they learn is now to cook clean and sleep with a man. The men know if the women's continue their education that would threaten their perverted behavior.
That’s the part where they should have a community meeting, because if this tradition did anything positive long term, there would be evidence. Short term happiness can form into inhumane circumstances. It’s a cheap greed deal. & these rejected “men” since being married is important in Africa, ideally before your 35 as a man. Confirms these are reject men.

The beauty of conservatism
Children cannot consent to sexual or romantic relationships with grown adults. It causes trauma and several disabilities later on.
Amen. Stop damaging our own blood. My heart breaks into pieces.
While I agree, that is a pretty simple take on a very complex issue. If her mother dies and she is not married to a suitable man, it could also result trauma and disability, possibly even contracting HIV herself because she will not have any protection. These people seem to understand it is wrong or at least not ideal, but they see it as the lesser of two evils. The mother genuinely seems to want to protect her children. Not only does this give her one less mouth to feed, but it gives her means to feed her other children. This is compounded by the fact that she is likely a single mother, or will become one soon. Until you can provide another path out of poverty, treatment for HIV, access to maternal and general healthcare, and alteration of long, engrained, traditions, this will be an intractable problem. This is a multifaceted systemic issue, not about teaching people that marrying children is wrong. Age of consent isn’t a universal law handed down from on high, it’s one we as societies have decided for ourselves. Even in places where the law agrees with you, if culture and circumstance doesn’t agree, it will keep happening. This is an absolutely tragedy, but we shouldn’t be treating these people like they simply don’t know better. It’s a horrific decision they feel they are forced to make.

I’m not trying to minimize how heartbreaking of a situation this is, but it’s not just trading their daughter for a cow. Cattle in many third world countries can be the means to escape death by starvation for many families. Even having just one cow can make a life or death difference. It’s a very sad situation all around.

Her poor TERMINALLY ILL single mother wanted her daughter to have a husband to take care of her. It is easy to push school as some way out of poverty but unrealistic in a village like that, there isn't anything there and her poor family can't afford to send her somewhere to further her education. Having a husband provide for her was always her best option considering where she lives.
@MA-mh1vs yes but she is 14 and he is 48...
I don't understand why they think it's OK to marry their underaged daughter off to a predator...or at least get a young one!
@@kpoppy9635 It may not be the families preference to do so but poverty is what drives them to do so. In this particular case the mother also wanted to ensure her daughter was provided for because she is dying from aids and a husband is the best way to ensure that.
I have watched the coverage of parents in the middle east doing the same just to afford firewood and food to feed the kids they have left. The people seeing this video will likely never know what it is like to be that impoverished but that is the reality for some people.
My daughter is 14 years old. I can’t stop crying for this little girl. She looks so sad and gone at the same time. Already defeated in her future. How much ignorance and suffering for woman can be.

And I'm sure the village women are lovely , and seem to mean well. But in reality those women are all victims. Every single one of them, they just don't know it because they been also brainwashed and abused. Just an endless cycle of abuse. And there nothing we can do about it at the moment. They probably see it as westerners ruining their precious cultures and traditions. Hence the whole colonizer debate. We can only look from afar and cry. I feel so hopeless. That poor girl face will haunt me. I'm so sad because we will never see her again and never get an update on her. I doubt another journalist will visit that village anytime soon. This is so sad. I just hope she is safe and is doing well now. 😢
One of the scariest parts was when she asked that monster about Dailess and school, he momentarily dropped the façade of being an innocent savior. "It's out of the question". He said it with such underlying offence as if the concept of her happiness and freedom is unheard of. He cares nothing about her wellbeing or future. He wouldn't be marrying her if he did. He just wants everyone else to believe that so he gets a live in maid. My heart breaks for her. :(
This is horrible. That girl looks dead inside. And the husband wants a child slave, not a wife. He has no shame admitting this to a reporter!
The emptiness in her eyes when she answers questions says enough. You can tell she has almost accepted her life is over, like she is processing the shock and giving up, shutting down. The hopelessness consumes her. I hope she finds a way for her and her child to escape that misery.
When the journalist asks the husband, will you allow her to go back to school, he says "no no no school" a life confined to a prison. That is so wrong.
Shes in hell. Pure hell. I'm horrified.
He's no fool he knows knowledge is power and he doesn't want a wife who has a mind of her own.

@@EoDnhoJ-JohnDoEDid you even watch the video before commenting? Her mother literally explained that she has HIV and in her mind, this marriage will give her daughter a home and means of living when she dies, and hopefully prevent her daughter from contracting AIDS by being committed to only one man. We know in reality that this girl may very well contract AIDs anyway if her husband cheats, and that this situation is far worse than if she were allowed to continue school and pursue higher education, but this is what the mother legitimately thinks. Many people in countries like Zambia have barely gone more than 10km from their own villages. The roads are so bad it's hours just to get to a hospital. The school is right next to their homes. They live off the land. They have no reason to leave and experience new things, nor the means to. They don't see other ways of living, all they know is what they, their grandmothers, mothers, sisters, and other women in the community went through, so it seems normal to them.
You tell a kid about Santa Claus and they believe it 100%, until they get old enough to catch on that it's just the adults pretending and lying to make the holiday more fun, and to trick kids into acting good in hopes of getting what they want. What happens if every adult legitimately believes in Santa Claus and the whole community agrees he is real? Wel, most people would never question it or think otherwise. That's how culture works. Just replace "Santa Claus" with any religion, or even a philosophy like communism, and you'll see my point. When you're told something since birth, and everyone around you believes and practices it, you will too. There will always be a few exceptions, but the majority of people believe what their culture/society tells them to believe. Especially in other societies where the focus is often more on community than individuality, which is the norm in a lot of Africa and Asia, as opposed to our very individual rights focused western culture.
I'm Leaticia from zambia. I'm in my first year at the copperbelt university. It's saddening to see that this is happening in the other part of my country. I will make sure I accomplish my dream of becoming and engineer and start working towards ending early marriage and child marriage in my country. We are the future leaders of tomorrow ❤
Rural Africa needs to be stopped before it is too late.
The young women have no choice in the setting.😊
If anyone should be a activist it's should be against these old men who want to marry children. That's gross and hopefully you can be a advocate for this. Good luck.
I wish you all the best in your future, my young sister. Much love! ❤❤
I am going to say a special prayer for you to succeed in your education so you will have the fortitude to advocate for these girls. Stories like these give me sleepless nights...I am truly having difficulty processing the information...actually, I just cannot understand any of this, my heart pains me much. I am not anywhere near the continent and thank GOD we have human rights here. The world is truly an ugly place, yet so beautiful...OMGOODNESS!
Please become an advocate for the young children in your country
As a Zambian, this is disgusting to see. Still shocked that there is no proper enforcement of the law. Sick!
She asked him why can’t he marry some one older and he gave every reason for her to be married to him vs why he desires to marry a child. It’s sick. He’s sick. I don’t care about culture, that’s just wrong. If it was about chores and such then just choose another older woman. It was more than that. I hate this for her. Her grandma and mom ain’t no better. A cow for my child. 😢this burns me up inside.
all of that 😣
He wants her to care for his wife who’s going to become ill, that there on its own means something 🚩in a country with a high rate of HIV infection. That little girl is still going to go through so much trauma with caring for that disgust& his wife, & will be forced to take care of her mom at home as well
I'm thankful .
Fact of the matter is that culture is simply a word that means the collective behaviors and practices of a group, and culture can in fact be harmful, both to individuals or the society in general. Foot binding or corsets for example, are cultural practices that can cause physical harm and deformity. Criticizing culture isn't inherently a bad thing. Women in the west still wouldn't receive education if our societies didn't question that culture.
His wife probably has HIV as well. @@StirYourselfUp
This is enraging. Having daughters just to sell them off for a cow is truly inhumane
Very very sad
It's been done since the beginning of time. We are always second place holders, never truly equal otherwise we wouldn't be hearing this
Its a part of their culture , you are just judging them by Western standards , do you think this practice is new ? No its 100s and 100s of years old if not more
@@johnssmith4005 no! No matter where you live this is wrong!! I am sick of men trying to normalize abusing young girls!! It’s not right!
@@johnssmith4005it’s still very immoral no matter the justification
The men be quiet as hell on these types of documentaries.
Yes, not many comments
men already know it’s hard to defend their gender’s actions. the ones that talk are the ones that are committing the actions themselves
I’m not; I’m here to show my support for these girls to be married off to be great and obedient wives
you will never see them comment i doubt if they even watch such documentaries to the end
@@NaomiKerubo-mh1fe I do and it turns me on!
that 14-year-old is traumatized. Horrible!!!
That poor girl was dead inside, and completely miserable. Imagine being surrounded by no one who cares and then a strange foreigner covered in make up with a camera crew shows up and asks you how you feel...just soul killing...
:( I was thinking the same thing. breaks my heart 😢
I feel so bad but I don’t think the camera crew is allowed to do something, I wish they could though :(
@@Kelli_333they aren't. If they do they would be stripped and beaten
This is so sad. They don't care about her. She's 14. A baby. It's a disgrace
These are the women we should be fighting for in our present time not for some confused want to be women delusional men and vice versa.
@@Luis-mz6dxI couldn't agree more
you should be more concerned about actual gRAPED victims, rather than a 14 year old young women getting married.
Her light went out as soon as she found out she was to be married i pray she finds strength to be whatever kind of woman SHE wants to be . Bless that baby 💗
Please I'm a living testimony of God's unpredictable ways. Please join me in prayers for that baby girl.
Regrettably, this is a widespread concern that often lacks the immediate attention required to prevent young girls from being compelled into such situations. I have authored a book titled Ntandokazi; a fictional book that delves deeply into the experiences and emotions of a child bride, exploring her life both before and after the "marriage."
I am Zambian, and this is very sad, most girls live their lives for men in these rural areas, they do not have their own identity. when i was in grade seven most of my female classmates dropped out of school because they had reached puberty and had to be taught how to "please" their husbands and were later on married off.
Women are more than just a chores person, Wife and a Mother!! Women are Smart and can contribute to the advancement of the country. I thank God that most advanced places in Zambia are empowering women and i hope places like the one in the video can be visited and enlightened. and we appreciate the effort those ladies are putting in to curb that mindset
If Educating women is not TRADITIONAL, then we refuse TRADITION, child Marriage must come to an end!!!
just because its tradition or religion or culture it make it right to degrade these girls to the point of commodity its time zambia progressed and put more value into fellow humans this has had me in tears ive 4 sisters who i love dearly one of them is just 13 not so different from dialess i couldnt shading tears and being so angry with my countries leadership that such is still happening while their little girls get to attend the best schools in the country and drive expensive cars they steal from us they lie to us they use us stepping stones for their monetary benefit whilst our sisters are being raped and sold like slaves. These same leaders claim to chistians if jesus christ had to come today what you will they tell him. they all qoute Kenneth Kaunda but fail him ridiculously. these issues could have been resolve with the money they take from our hard working citizen but they instead fatten their own pockets. KENNETH IS NOT RESTING IN PEACE THIS HAS BROKEN ME
Yessss
Misogyny is such a poison. It's logical that supporting EVERYONE will improve the nation as a whole. More innovation, more freedoms, more joy. But these men are so addicted to misogyny that they would drag the whole nation down just to feel power over women and girls.
HalleluYAH ❤️🔥
So what does the government and social welfare and even UNICEF DO IN YOUR COUNTRY ? AND THE VILLAGE HEADS TOLERATE THIS ? 😢
She's just a child,the thought of her "helping out" a 48 yr old man in the bedroom made me feel nauseous
His first reasoning for buying and assaulting a child was because he didn't know how to do CHORES. My heart aches for every one of those girls
he also said that younger girls are cheaper 🤮
His mother failed him. He seen her be a slave so he thinks it’s normal.
How incredibly scary and sad. I couldn’t imagine being married at 27 let alone 15 years ago for myself! 😭 these poor babies need help not marriage.
The fact that this is true and this is about a child’s life. The scene at the end is just sick . Seeing her not even smiling or anything, having her eyes down while everyone has their eyes on her . Even the predator staring at her . Disgusting and just sad .
That is a sign of respect.....
"The human heart is desperately wicked"
@@sandymurray3997 “forced” forcing someone to obey to you doesn’t mean they are doing it out of respect. Being able to see when someone willingly respects you is very noticeable and that’s one thing but when they are nervous and afraid of you is another thing.
@@sandymurray3997 no it is not lol. Shes obviously miserable. Her own mom said this was a forced areangement.
At 14 years of age shes far too young for such responsibilities and hes too damn old
That's disgusting and sick to do this to her
so a 14 year old is not able to do chores?
I am a Zambian and this truly disgusted me. That man should be traced down and prosecuted. It's the only way that we are going to win this battle.
you good men out there need to unite and fight for women !!! this is sickening. slavery. corruption. torture.
oh stop it yall africans only act like its wrong because the west does. look your even speaking western language.
I am so disgusted by the husband and the women encouraging this 😢
I am an African, Kenyan... but I shed tears as I watch this documentary. Being a father, it is extremely painful to imagine that somebody can that my 15 year-old daughter just through this foolish African traditions...
These traditions are long overdue and need strong Pan-African advocacy against. This is one main reason why most of Africa is underdeveloped.
When did it become "underdeveloped?" In ancient times it looked nothing like this and was very much rich. So what happened? They were advanced.
@@karinajas Isn't only in Africa. You even have it in America
The guy called Africa underdeveloped and I'm asking where he is getting that from and what is his definition of it.@@kwabenatree
@@kwabenatreeWe sure do, it's disgusting. I promise you it's not legal
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said that to raise a daughter with love and respect is a blessing in this life and the next. Thank you for being a concerned father.
There are so many problems here and it saddens me. The biggest one is they think a short fix ( selling your daughter for money) will fix a long term problem ( poverty) but instead they are in a never ending cycle that is passed on from generation to generation. These women who think it’s okay, because their mothers did it , just kills me .
In this case they didnt even get money , just a cow which is insane .
The part that women have in continuing this tragedy is insane and sade. Knowledge is truly power!
@@nber1954 knowledge is truly power but they are starving this girl from him
These poor souls don't know any better especially if they don't have a proper education. All they learn is now to cook clean and sleep with a man. The men know if the women's continue their education that would threaten their perverted behavior.
That’s the part where they should have a community meeting, because if this tradition did anything positive long term, there would be evidence. Short term happiness can form into inhumane circumstances. It’s a cheap greed deal. & these rejected “men” since being married is important in Africa, ideally before your 35 as a man. Confirms these are reject men.
"The very first thing they are told, is how to respect your husband" 😢😢😢those words don't even describes the word DISGUSTING, SHE IS 14 FOR CRYING OUT LOUDEST ...
This is child abuse being broadcasted on our telephones. Why in the world does somebody not put a stop to this? God have mercy on all of them so especially the women involved
48 and 14 is insane. absolutely disgusting
That's like Thomas Jefferson and Sally hemmings!
Joseph 70 Mary 14
ageist bigot
This young “bride” was so disconnected and destroyed. I wish I could somehow send her a big box of books!
This seems reasonable. Is there some way @vice can facilitate this. I would like to send books as well.
I don't think her husband will like that idea. He doesn't want her to get educated because he might have a hard time controlling her. But yeah, you can try. I'm hoping that Dialess will get to read books again and will be free from that disgusting man
Where is Foreign Aid?
@@irenedavo3768Even so Wth is wrong with the Elite movers and shakers in Africa that can put an end to this madness?.😮😮😮
@@aestheria6706There is no “might” he WILL have a hard time controlling her. I hope she can get away from him, someway/ somehow, because this isn’t right…Btw, her name is beautiful
I’m disgusted. Why is his wife of 25 years so sick? Did he infect this child with HIV?
My first thought
Almost definitely
Exactly what I said. His eyes bulging out his head face sunken in… The next time I complain about America can someone jump through this phone and smack the sh## out of me.
Being a 17 year old zambian who comes from the eastern province this breaks my heart, we all deserve a bright future.
The hatred for women is all around the world. It's heartbreaking.
No, its traditions, its related to their undeveloped and poor brains. This wouldnt happen in modern day europe
All but in western nations. There it is all about hating men...and hiw weird that is where the most feminists are that say nothing about african and arab nations their treatment of women...
And I have Daughter that Just Turned 2 I’m not gone Play about her in the Future so Pray for me💯🙏🏾
And when women demand better treatment, oeople say they are asking too much
@@chatgpt4135 you have the best treatment idk what u want
Some people are born into hell, this girl looks dead inside, it's truly heartbreaking to watch
She looks so traumatised already.
Is there any type of update this is breaking my heart
Yeah at the end they say she married and gave birth to a child, that's gonna be her life.
It’s absolutely disgusting how none of these adults understand how disgusting it is to teach a child how to have sex with an older man when she doesn’t want to.
I’m sure all of them know the feeling of despair when they were in those little girl’s spot.
Why this abuses stil happend in country where black People living?
happens in America too. Matter of fact it isn't illegal with parental permission@@vivianthurnim9390
