English term or phrase: debt wedding
"loan bride

Young girls sold to creditors (mostly opium traffickers) as payment for debts incurred by poor opium farmers in Afghanistan, usually after their crop has failed or been destroyed by opium crop-eradication teams.
The practice of giving daughters in marriage by fathers who have no other way out of debt began with the dowry a bridegroom's family traditionally pays to the bride's father in tribal Pashtun society. For a desperate farmer, that bride price can be salvation—but at a cost. Among the Pashtun, debt marriage puts a lasting stain on the honor of the bride and her family. No one knows how many debt weddings take place in Afghanistan, but the number of loan brides keeps rising as poppy-eradication efforts push more farmers into default.

Variant: opium bride
