Many at times in the olden days children especially the female child were forced into marriage at their younger ages. It might not be common now as I already said but it still exists . It might be the wish if the child or not but that is generally a bad idea as far u am concerned.
Causes Of Child Marriage !!
Families as well as other people force their young female into marrying older men(mostly rich men due to the following reasons);
Poverty: Mostly poverty is what causes a family to force their child into early marriages just to help sustain them .. They mostly do this since the husband to be has some money that can care for them ..
Illiteracy on the part of parents as well as children : Also, a major cause of Child Marriage is the lack of knowledge of parents and children on the effects of this practice thereby pushing their children into it.
Inability Of Women To Work For Money: Again, woman (children) can't work for money at such young age and as a result of poverty parents do consider this fact and push them in.
Insecirity:
Gender Inequalities
Inadequate Implementation Of The Law
Dowry and a whole lot ..
Effects Of Child Marriage
Through the above , these children are led into a whole lot of danger of which most people don't notice. Some of these dangers include ;
Denial Of Certain Rights : Mostly the child is denied of the right to education, personal liberty as well as others.
Domestic violence : A case where the child is married into a house where there are other wives already thereby becoming the newly weeded wive will cause more trouble and violence as there will be quarelel between them resulting into a terrible situation.
Poor Mental Health
Increased Risk For Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Cervical Cancer
Death During Child Birth:
Solutions To Child Marriage
Thereby there must be ways to prevent these things from happening of which some includes;
Women Empowerment : Women should be made to know what processes as well as measures to put in place during such times ..
Educate And Rally Parents And Community Members : Parents should also be made aware of the various dangers associated with Child Marriage thereby discouraging them to let their children get involved no matter the situation..
Provide Economic Support For Girls And Their Families
Encourage Supportive Laws and Policies : Policies as well as laws fighting against Child Marriage should be made more effective and biting.
High Level Of Education On The Part Of Girls
Thank you all for your time and your co-operation . I know this is of some help though but not that informative ..
Thank you once again, it's Dangerous_Fly on this , Bring It On!!!
Although it's still practiced, there are cases now where there is an agreement between families involved like the young female is allowed freedom from the marriage until some age under certain conditions but then it would still depend on the parties involved. It's a weird tradition for some countries to do this, actually
