Secret Society of Happy People
Berber girl Morocco. In Morocco’s High Atlas mountains virgins like 12-year-old H’dda may catch the eye of a suitor at the annual brides’ fair in the village of Imilchil. If her parents approve, a prolonged courtship begins. Under Moroccan law girls cannot marry until 16, but many Berbers keep their own counsel. | © Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher
