It's sad for these young girls who marry, move to the Husband's fam then run into fam problems.  People should marry and move independently, but I know it ain't always that simple.  I saw several cases like this.  Usually they are still dependent and the husband comes under a lot of pressure to side with his family.  The girl is left out in the cold and usually have no way back or out.

Waut a minute 16 years old and she was married??????  Just what goes in Guyana puzzles me. 

And at 16 she had a child. Was she married at 15 then? What a disgrace. The kid needed to grow up and enjoy her life before being pushed to accept such huge responsibilities.

Are these people Cocu,damn that's a child,i got three two in their 20's no boyfriend,the other in 19 decide to move in with boyfriend jugging between college and family life i can see the hard ship she is facing,i told them get your education and then settled down,sometimes you don't win.
