A 15-year-old child bride has died after suffering from a massive brain haemorrhage while giving birth, according to mirror.co.uk.

The girl - known only as Derya B - gave birth in a village in the Mutki district of Turkey last week.

However, after the child was born, the girl was rushed to hospital complaining of headaches and nausea.

She was then rushed to intensive care after doctors said she had suffered from a brain haemorrhage but she died on Thursday.

It is thought the brain haemorrhage could have been caused by her giving birth at an early age.

Prosecutors have now launched an investigation into her death and are speaking to her family and husband.

I don’t know whether anyone took notice, but 11th October was the Day of The Girl.. Nothing much happened.. Why do we still allow these sort of things to go on ? What’s the answer ?

The parents have to live with themselves after this. However, stronger action needs to be taken against parents who "force" their daughters into such unions

If a child can get married at 15 she should also be allowed to drive a car, elect the president, own property, or start her own business. Is that the case?

Culture-less barbarians who allow child-marriage. I mean you in Turkey, in Yemen, in the Arab world, and in Africa. You are a disgrace to the human race!
