I’m glad you clarified that the mourning practice was also often adopted by children: at first I thought that little girl front & centre is far too young to be a widow! What a 💔portrait of grief, K- more moving for being in b/w. 🥺

Girls can marry as young as 14 and boys as young as 16. Customary marriages often do not consider age but rather physical maturity, as determined by community elders, which can lead to marriages at younger ages, particularly in rural areas.
