How much pressure was exerted on these young girls to marry these creepy old men?
It also seems that there is quite a bit of control exerted over these woman.
I think that the government has made a mistake in these charges and should have focused on the underage marriage issues.
There's almost no way that this isn't going to open some supreme court intervention at some point.

This is one of the biggest problems, in addition to marriage to minors due to this same duress.
