I saw those bride pictures without the blurring, somewhere else. I think it was snopes. (Maybe they've blurred it since then - they should. But she looks just as young as she is short.) An adjacent exhibit also there was another set with a different youngster.
I know what you mean - it's hard to come up with words on first viewing.
One of the interesting issues to resolve harkens back to dianavan's comment - that these girls have virtually no religious "freedom." On the opposite side: the heart of religious freedom includes imparting your mores and beliefs to your children.
To the agencies I say: Never give up. The Supreme Court has said this is important.
