The Ethnocentric Point Of View Of Noni's Story

The ethnocentric point of view of Noni’s story is horrendous. In our culture, it is considered illegal to have child brides. It is viewed as statutory rape, and child negligence. It is absurd to believe parents would basically sell their under aged children so they could find the means to feed themselves. Many child bride stories, have come to light where the victims have expressed how badly they were treated and identified with feeling like property or garbage. This can be harsh to read, but if the family doesn’t have the means to provide food and shelter to the child then why have children to begin with. Unfortunately, their government has failed them if their only option to support themselves is to sell their underage children as brides.
