Much Married Mates Shunned Refuge for Girls in Congo
New York reports a Belgian Congo mission home for training native Catholic girls has become a shelter for young girls fleeing polygamous husbands.

Priests describe how girls are sold, flee to the sisters, and the mission helps arrange future marriages, advancing funds and seeking reimbursement from husbands.
