It appears that not everyone has read the actual article fully.
The girl was pregnant. She even gave birth on the day of the wedding, which strongly suggests this may have been the reason that the marriage took place. They may have likely been pushed by the family to avoid social taboo \'shame.\' To be pregnant in a premarital relationship is looked down in many cultures.
The \"toy\" she was referring to was the baby, which is apparent when the article is read within in its proper context.
In regards to younger marriages, some religions and cultures have encouraged marriage after she has reached her first menstrual cycle. Many would be surprised which societies have done this for thousands of years.
I would suggest to learn the sociology of different cultures and history before rushing to judgement based on just a brief glance at a headline.
