But they shouldn't have to do it.

No they shouldn't have to do that and I wonder how many of those claiming to have done it voluntarily really did. The one woman living in poverty with seven married children said, "If she had another daughter she'd get her to marry a foreigner." They might not physically force them but what about the more subtle pleading or out-right begging the parents may do. For reasons other than poverty marriages like yhat happen here too.

I believe life sometimes can be harder on women. Let's face it; we are adored for our sexuality. But, from my perspective, I also think life can be harsh on men. I've been so much in love with a woman and I know how it feels to be used and played. Guys get used to it, but I never have, probably because I've refused to grow a second skin. It only makes me tougher you know.
But just imagine having a life only to serve men . . .all your particular hopes and dreams go to waste.

I am so glad now that I'm an adult I can live my life by my rules.
