In Syria a Five Year Old proposes to a Three Year Old because they are believed to be in love. The mother of the young boy decided when he was born to have him married by the time he was 5. This young boy found his love at his nursery, and when he and his family moved away and he couldn't be with her anymore he got very upset. This is when he proposed to his soon to be wife.
I believe that this is to young for a child to know what they want, what if something happens when they grow up, and they get sick of eachother. This could end up very badly, and if I were the parents then I would not want to put my child through this upcoming pain.
