Stop child marriage----- Is it a global issue??  How to stop prevent child marriages……??

·   Child marriage has been a global issue for a long time. And it comes in different stages. Still in some countries and in some areas child marriage is considered a normal thing and children rights are completely ignored. Elderly people bribe the poor families with large amount of money in return for their children to marry them and sometimes even for the cause of slavery……. This in my opinion should be extremely discouraged and prevented at any cost. Children also have their own rights and by child marriages and slavery people are snatching their childhood. Children belong in school studying for the betterment of their future but definitely not in homes washing dishes and wiping floors. Every child deserves to go to school and get privilege of studying in a proper institution. Also in my in my opinion the organizations working against this should come more forward and stop the increasing child marriages all across the globe.

3.      Families believe that early marriage will protect girls from sexual violence which is a complete wrong thing and someone needs to educate these kinds of illiterate people and prevent child marriages and save some innocent lives.

 

4.      The older the girls get the higher the dowry rate will be for their parents……. So for the sake of arranging less dowry for their daughters they tend to force them to marry at an early age. My opinion on this is simple that there should be completely no concept of dowry.

 

5.      There are inequalities between boys and girls…… Yes, inequalities still exist in this modern era.

Early pregnancy is one of the most risky causes and results of Child marriages. Young ladies wedded early are bound to encounter savagery, misuse and constrained sexual relations. They are increasingly defenseless against explicitly transmitted diseases (counting HIV).
