A Seven Year Old girl who is set to marry her "grandfather"

At the tender age of 7, Serem (not her real name) has already been booked for marriage by a man too old enough to be her grandfather. Soon she will be joining her husband’s Harlem of six wives to become the seventh.

Serem has never been to school. But the process of marrying her off has already begun. Her future husband-a man almost ten times her age- has been piling beads on Serem's young neck, a symbol of wealth and love. The more the beads stringed around the young girl’s little neck, the closer she draws to the marital bed.

As her age mates hurry to school every morning, she remains behind, learning how to take care of her husband who can come knocking on the door to her parent’s Manyatta- a collection of traditional mud roofed dwellings made from sticks and smeared with cow dung-  as soon as he has finished paying her dowry.
