Oxfam: girls as young as three are married off in Yemen

Girls as young as three are being married off in war-torn Yemen because their families cannot afford to feed them, according to the charity Oxfam.

Starving Yemeni families have described how they had no choice but to force their young daughters to marry much older men.

They use the dowry to pay for food and shelter, in order to save the rest of the family.
