LA (17) carries her child AAC (8 months) in a village in East Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, last Friday (16/4/2021). In his very young age, LA has been married three times and divorced twice.
The searing heat of the sun in East Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, forced a number of residents to take shelter for a moment’s break. At a hut, a young woman was seated with her 8-month-old toddler on her lap.
“This is my child from my third marriage,” LA (17) said. She lives 26 kilometers northwest of Selong, the regency’s capital.
