Nearly half a million children have arrived into Europe over the past 12 months - with thousands believed to be living with their husbands - some as young as 12 or 13.
Certain governments and authorities have issued directives that couples involving underage girls should be separated.
Susan Keogh has been speaking to Mike Mansfield - Head of Child Sponsorship at Plan Ireland.
