While it is a problem, luvnit, many of those girls go un-adopted and are left in the orphanges until they are old enough to work (early teens, I believe). The bigger issue might be that these females are not considered acceptable spouses as they lack education and are typically in the "sweat shop" industrial areas.
Small sidenote, I know someone that recently adopted and they were amazed at the miles after miles of industrial type buildings that were occupied primarily with these young girls as the workers. They often lack most things we consider normal for a teenager because of all their years spent in the small confines of an orphanage that is not often up to what Americans would consider good standards ... think rows of babies (infants) wrapped in blankets lying on cement or dirt floors because there is a shortage of space for cribs.
Sorry to have gotten away from the subject of the original post.
