Underage Rohingya girls trapped in abusive marriages in Malaysia

Scores of underage Rohingya girls are being forced into abusive marriages in Malaysia, driven by deteriorating conditions in Myanmar and neighboring Bangladesh's refugee camps. The girls, as young as 13, are often held hostage by controlling husbands who rarely let them outside. Many of them were beaten and raped by traffickers and other men during their journey to Malaysia, and some are now being abused by their husbands. The girls face limited options due to global apathy towards the Rohingya crisis and strict migration policies. They are considered illegal immigrants in Malaysia, which is not a signatory to the UN's refugee convention.
