This is the moment that girls, some as young as 14, are traded by their families for livestock as part of a traditional ceremony in rural Kenya which marks their passing into womanhood. Before the ritual takes place the girls are isolated for more than a month, meaning many are not aware they have been bargained away until their new husbands come to collect them. Another part of the ceremony sees the women beat a cow into submission before the men kill it with a single stab wound to the heart.
