Abstract
Child marriage is a growing problem for girls in Syrian refugee families in Turkey.

Building on a field survey, this chapter explores how the child marriages of Syrian girls can act as a survival strategy for Syrian families and a means to build a patriarchal domination over girls’ body and sexuality.
