Let me pull one comment from there

I wish I could post a photo here...actually, after enhancing the photo, there really are no telltale signs to indicate this is a woman wearing a burka. It has been assumed, since that is the norm in this part of our world. The enhanced pic shows that yes there IS another body behind the burka-wearing person. a little off to the pic's right. I do mean Body. Visible are things like more of the clothing worn under the burka, more details in the nature of the wall they're near, and the shadows are brightened and show a more accurate depiction of what "appears" more like a red cross/relief person (in a burka because that's what you wear there if you are a woman, or want to be portrayed as a woman). It is clear that what is being offered is compassion to a dying man. The initial photo posted is full of shadows and lines blurred and questions begging to be asked.
It is sad to see the utter lack of compassion in some of these comments, the lack of intelligence, yet hopeful to see the many voices who question as I do, who think for themselves, who wonder, who have room and compassion in their hearts for things they may not necessarily fully understand, but recognize the need nevertheless.
Everything is Perception people. The perception is that Staples Copy Center copies are less expensive and more convenient than a local small business quick-printing service. Reality is opposite from the perception. And yet everyone runs to their WalMart and Staples because they THINK they'll get a better deal...
There's ALWAYS more than one side to the story...the wider you open your eyes the more details you can see... see.....perception.

Humanity hinges onto the good... Being your brother in faith, all that i want to say is Be positive, join hands with good, and you encourage me too , to follow in word and spirit, the below ...
“The good deed and the evil deed are not alike. Repel the evil deed with one which is better, then lo! he, between whom and thee there was enmity (will become) as though he was a bosom friend.” [Qur'an 41:34]

One of the entries i found there

In this photo provided on Friday Feb. 10, 2012 by World Press Photo, the 1st prize Contemporary Issues Stories category of the 2012 World Press Photo contest by Stephanie Sinclair, USA, VII Photo Agency for National Geographic magazine shows Tahani (in pink), who married her husband Majed when she was 6 and he was 25, posing for this portrait with former classmate Ghada, also a child bride, outside their mountain home in Hajjah, Yemen, June 10, 2010. Nearly half of all women in Yemen were married as children. (AP Photo/Stephanie Sinclair, VII Photo Agency for National Geographic magazine)

Shows two men, with wife beside. True to nature of media, a photograph, taken by pulling out camera shy tribesmen, I felt.

Can someone throw light on the bold part, ie
Nearly half of all women in Yemen were married as children.
