Fifteen-year-old Destaye and her husband Addisu, 27, sit in their home with their son near Bahir Dar, Ethiopia on Aug. 11, 2012. They divide their time between working in the fields and taking care of their 6-month-old baby. Like many other young couples, they tend to the domestic, economic and personal demands of being young parents. At the time of their marriage, when Destaye was age 11, she was still in school and her husband expressed interest in letting her continue her education. Since the birth of their son, however, she has had to confine her life exclusively to being a wife and mother.
