Great idea. Should work if you speak some Arabic. Or even if you just your parents do.

Minimum age 16 advisable for the bride, in case the USA doesn't recognize your marriage. (18 in some states).

Probably any girl you find there will be a virgin regardless of age, so you can talk to a twenty-ish girl etc. No need to go so young as the Gulf Arabs seem to be doing.

Get on a plane. Make yourself happy, and make your friends jealous.

PS take cash.

It is not so easy, places near such camps are very dangerous.

Many of these refugees are uneducated rural people and Muslims living in deep poverty, and yes, Arabic is absolutely necessary. Visa for such women to continue to travel away from the refugees camps might cause problems and delay over many months due to missing documents.

Of course there are many Muslims from Europe, and also Turks, Iranians etc. who will show up and look for young wives.

Well, some of these women will be lucky and some not, but still better for them than to be killed by some bombings or beheaded, or die of hunger and diseases.

Of course this article was written feminist-friendly, young women as victims, men as abusers.

BTW, who cares about boys in the refugees camps? Good question, they cannot just look for a wife....
