十二歲的西婭是挪威第一位兒童新娘。在10月11日，週六，她和自己37歲的未婚夫一起走上了紅毯。這是挪威第一樁官方認可的兒童婚姻，這一事件激起了公衆的極大反響。

“Hey! My name is Thea and I’m 12 years old. I am getting married in one month!”.

“嗨，我的名字叫西婭。我今年12歲。我將在一個月之後結婚！”

This is how Thea has introduced her upcoming journey and major life event of soon being a child bride in Norway. Using this blog she will tell her story and express how she believes her experience of marriage will be.

西婭用這句話介紹自己，向公衆介紹自己即將成爲挪威的兒童新娘，經歷這一人生大事，展開人生新旅程。

Thea’s wedding blog has become Norway’s most read blog during the course of one day. It instantly provoked reactions where people immediately contacted the police and childwelfare in order to stop the upcoming wedding.

僅在一天之內，西婭的婚禮博客就成爲了挪威最熱門的博客。它立刻及其了人們的強烈反響，有人立刻聯繫了警方和兒童福利機構，希望能夠阻止這場即將到來的婚禮。

Thousands of people debated the subject on social media as well. The aim is to engage the population to take immediate action and stop the wedding before Thea has planned to tell Geir “I do”.

同時，還有成千上萬的人在社交網絡上就此事爭論不休。人們想方設法呼籲羣衆，想採取緊急措施，以便在西婭對蓋爾說出“我願意”之前阻止這場婚禮。

The shocking blog is leading up to the fictional couple’s wedding date, October 11, which coincides with the UN’s International Day of the Girl Child.

這一震驚世人的博客文章中寫到，二人的“婚禮”將在10月11日舉行。而這一天，正好是聯合國設立的估計女童日。

39,000 girls are robbed of their childhood every day.

每天都有3萬9千名女孩被剝奪了她們的童年。

We believe that provocation is a powerful tool in order to demonstrate a reality that truly is very provoking. We hope people will mobilize against child marriage by being girl sponsors, so that most of the 39,000 girls facing Thea’s situation every day can escape their brutal fate.

我們相信這場抗議將成爲有力的武器，揭示出令人扼腕抗爭的真相。我們希望人們資助這些女孩，參與抵制兒童婚姻的活動，這樣以來，每天那些和西婭面臨着同樣處境的3萬9千名兒童就能逃脫她們悲慘的命運了。
