Surviving child marriage: The victorious Sabina
Sabina was just 14 years old when she became a child bride in Bangladesh.
“In eighth grade, my family pulled me out of school and married me off,” Sabina tells us. “Within a year, I became pregnant … but my husband and in-laws did not want me to carry the child to term.”
Sabina refused to abort her baby, so her in-laws deceived her into taking medicine that terminated her pregnancy.
