SOCIETY”

Mrs. Bengu from Edirne, she is 27 and she has 2 children , she got married when she was 17 . She escaped and got married ,because she was under pressure of her family . When she wanted to go out with her friends her family didn’t allow her to go out. Now she regrets havıng married early and she doesn’t want her children to get early marriages. Because she suffered violence at home and in society suffers discrimination.
