"Child marriage increases dramatically in emergencies due to increased poverty levels and a need to reduce household expenditure as well as parents wanting to protect their daughter’s honour and avoid sexual harassment and violence in an increasingly fragile environment.

A UNHCR survey conducted in 2014 revealed that the average age of marriage for Syrian refugee girls in Turkey was between 13 and 20 years with many respondents saying if they had the money, they would not have resorted to marrying off their daughters at such a young age."

How does the girl marriage affect household expenditures of the groom? Especially if conception follows?
Who do the Syrian refugee girls in Turkey marry? Other refugees, or locals? Boys their age, or older men? From poor families, or from rich ones? And do the girls know and like their grooms?
