The taboo of child marriages.

[shaun98]

Child marriage is really sickening. In most cases, the child is usually a girl forced to marry a much older man, and it is basically paedophilia. On top of that, she is usually deprived of education and usually the husband will divorce her after a few years and move on to another child. Really horrible and it needs to be banned.

It really is sickening, especially since there is no way out, no choice, and no one to turn to: imagine the tormentor being one's own family, especially a husband..

In my opinion, marrying in young age is a big no for me because theirs a lot of opportunity for that young one and still they don't what to do. At the young age, you should prioitize your future, you should study hard, have work, enjoy your single life and build your future.

Being forced to live with a person you barely know for the rest of your life, with no way out is totally horrifying. According to stats in Pakistan 20 percent of women are married before the age of 18, and most of these marriages are forced. To many it may seem like a high profile social issue, but if you think about it on a personal level you will realize that it is simply cruel. Forcing a child in a marriage, whose happiness is in playing freely and living peacefully with their parents, is no way fair. They barely know the meaning of marriage.

Early marriages isn't good way because the life has many difficult , I think they can not handle it when they get married too early .
They barely know the meaning of marriage.

It is a social evil and is totally inhuman act. Early Marriages prevents the ability of a girl to reach her full potential. They are not able to complete their education because they are pulled out of school and forced to do house chores. These girls experience increased health risks arising from premature pregnancies and increased exposure to HIV and more.

Imagine you are a 7th grade girl living in a village and fortunate enough to go to school. One afternoon you returned from the school and got told you are getting married next day to a stranger and might be twice your age, you tried to resist but was beaten into submission for marriage…

Child Marriage is to be discouraged completely. How can a young innocent girl be asked or compelled to get married at a tender age without the basic and necessary experience of life and education that will guide and help her during marriage. She would end up in suffering. My opinion.

[yoseph]

Early marriage is not acceptable to me. it is very harmful to a child. it effects on her mind and body. but i saw that there are many reason for early marriage. almost the poor people are face this problem. I think financial and social issue is most reason.

Child marriages are very common in Africa and most of the time, the child who are always female are betrothed to an other slightly older richer man. The parents of the child are just selling the kid for money and that is what there is to child marriages.

There are different traditions in countries. I think western society can not impose their notions of justice, how people can do or how they can't. It is other culture. If it is normal for the population of the country, you can not decide what is better. Women in such countries has other upbringing and understanding of life.

Two married children they don't know what they do so it is not an actual marriage, the problem i believe it is the education, because young boys are educated to abuse those girls, that is the saddest part of all.

[Bazinga442]

That's the biggest abomination that can ever be committed by any adult and must never ever be encouraged, this kids haven't fully grown and matured in their sexual organs and this child marriages can hurt and destroy them for life

[ratnaantiqu3]

In my country there is actually a ban for early marriage.
I strongly agree, because the time is not married, the thought is still immature, then selfish among couples, the results can be divorced.
In addition, when pregnant can sometimes be harmful to small posture, the stakes are life.
avoid early marriage.

[cramcram21]

Well sad to say but in my Country there are lots of teenager's who are already living together with their partner's,
That's why there are lots of teenage mom's in my country it is their choice sometimes even their parents couldn't stop it.
So I think this is one of the reason why there are lots of teenage worker's in my country ,But at least they are already trying their best to support their family.

Sexually, yes I agree with you.  That is way to young, and from a health perspective is not good.  But every marriage doesn't have to revolve around sex.  I know we have changed our thoughts in the last century on marriage age compared to the last 10K years, but young marriages arent so taboo

The idea of arrange marriage in children is a bit too much to handle. Children are forced to marry their parent's choice. Its unfair for children being forced to do this things. They should consider their child's wants also and the most things they really need.

I feel saddened by this tradition. Little girls are being forced to marry someone twice as their age or just older men. Innocence are being torn and happiness of being a child is taken away from them. In return, they get to be wives in an early stage that never get the chance or experience of being just a child and being carefree. I don't know why there are traditions like this but I'm just glad that I'm not in the shoes of these children.

[Sithara007]

Sometimes, the girls doesn't have much of a choice. In many broken families, the female household head may not be able to cover all the expenses and she may encourage her older daughters to get married early. I have seen numerous examples of this in my area.

In my country, child marriages are illegal but many parents marry their children especially girls. Moreover they take money for that marriage. It is a kind of selling their children for marriage. Also the government doesn't do anything for those crimes.

[shinchan123]

It may be an ancient tradition for them but come on! We are talking about a child getting married. Fixed marriage is bad enough in some countries, but this is just sick. These are just children and they have the right to enjoy their childhood. I think their government should do something about this totally inhumane practice.

[dumbfounded22]

It's wrong to look for advantages and disadvantages in an early marriage because for each girl this has an individual character. It'is important that from a medical point of view, early marriage doesn't harm the health of a young bride.

[maann23]

Marrying your child off to someone she/he doesn't love or forcing her to be with them for religion, money etc. is just so wrong how can a child carry this burden all through her life and shelled off their innocence just for the sake of others satisfaction and gratitude? Although, people learn to keep a blind eye about this topic.
