Girl in Kamuli, Eastern Uganda

In eastern Uganda some girls choose 'marriages through the window' (informal cohabitation) in the hope that their boyfriends or husbands can provide for them better than their parents can.

 

But these informal marriages are not arranged with the blessing of families and clans and can leave girls – and any children from their relationship – with limited security and protection if relationships fail.
