The horrifying film also seems to show her husband, who is wearing a suit, clinging on to her despite him being at least four decades older than her.
Shot in Lebanon, the video has sparked an international outcry.
But the bride and her groom were actors hired by the campaign group KAFA – meaning "enough" in Arabic.
KAFA campaigner Maya Ammar said: "The scene was supposed to seem shocking because the practice itself is shocking."
With over 1.7 million views, the clip aims to offer a window into a world where thousands of young girls are forced into marriage.
The group claim that nearly 15 million girls as young as eight are forced to marry older men sometimes in their sixties and seventies.
According to the United Nations Population Fund, more than 1.2 billion girls will be forced into child marriage by 2050.
