Marie walks with a friend on a street in Komao village, on the outskirts of Koidu, district of Kono, Sierra Leone, Sunday, Nov. 22, 2020. A man, in his mid-20s, first caught a glimpse of Marie as she ran with her friends past his house near the village primary school. Soon after, he proposed to the fifth-grader. “I’m going to school now. I don’t want to get married and stay in the house,” she told him. But the pressures of a global pandemic on this remote corner of Sierra Leone were greater than the wishes of a schoolgirl. (AP Photo/Leo Correa)
