【気づいたところだけ…。】 The Tuareg bride, Assalama, sits silently as female relatives and helpers make sure that every hair is perfect for the first day of her wedding celebration. トゥアレグ族の花嫁アサラマは、結婚式の初日のために、女性の親戚陣と御手伝いが彼女の髪の毛を完璧に整える間、静かに座っている。 Such attention is new for the bride, who is only 15 years old and who has spent most of her life tending her mother's goats and sheep. これまで母親のヤギと羊の世話に時間のほとんどを費やしてきた、まだ15歳の花嫁にとって、このような気遣いを受けるのは初めてのことである。 The Tuareg are nomads, and it was only by chance that she was reunited with her 25-year-old cousin Mohamed a month earlier. トゥアレグ族は遊牧民であり、1カ月前に彼女が25歳の従兄ムハメッドと再会できたのは単なる偶然に過ぎなかった。 Just back from five years working in Libya, Mohamed spotted Assalama as she drew water from a well. 5年間リビアで働いた後戻ってきたばかりのムハメッド。彼の目に入ったのが、井戸から水を汲むアサラマの姿だった。 “I knew from the moment that I wanted to marry her,” he says. 彼は言う。「その時感じた。彼女と結婚したいと。」 Wasting no time, he asked for her hand, すぐに彼は、彼女に生涯を付き添ってもらうよう求めた。 she accepted, their families approved, and wedding plans began. 彼女はこれを受け入れ、二人の家族も承諾し、結婚の準備が始まった。
