This article from Reuters examines the response of Norway and other Scandinavian countries to the arrival of asylum-seeking girls under the age of 16 who are married, and how these girls are cared for and protected in the asylum systems. According to the article, some of these girls are permitted to stay with their partners, while others are placed in adult asylum centers or in their own rooms. Authorities have allowed some "child brides" to stay with their spouses "believing it is less traumatic for them than forced separation after fleeing wars in nations such as Afghanistan or Syria," says the article. However, authorities are now reviewing all cases from 2015.
