                        1. Arranged marriages me under age pregnacy as most arranged marages require a girl to be married and have kids between 13-18 years old (i think). But from a younger age the girls are trained to be the perfect wives for there husband, e.g. Washing clothes, Fetching water, taking care of children/kids, making food and being an all round good stay at home stay silent mother.
                          1. One side of Africa is better developped than other sides, which cause jealousy then countries go into war. When countries go into war the residents bare always put in danger and families get broken up as some of them go fight in war and die or go away for long and others get killed by the opposing army
