Child marriage happens for many reasons: poverty, fears about girls’ safety, a perceived lack ofother options. But, ultimately, it happens to girls because they are girls. Approximately 14 million under-185 are married each year, and the overwhelming majority ofthem are girls. Child marriage is driven by social norms that accord girls little value. The consequences of such unions are more devastating for girls. Soon aftér marriage, child brides are expected to prove their fertility ~ to become mothers even though they are still children. Their bodies are not ready to cope with pregnancy and childbirth. When under-155 give birth, they are five times more likely to die in labour than women in their early 203.
In many cases. marriage becomes the only life that child brides know. Out of school and with few employment prospects, they are almost entirely dependent on their often much older husbands. Not only does this make girls more vulnerable to abusive relationships, it gives them few options to leave and provide for themselves and their children. As long as it exists, child marriage will stand in the way of gender equality.
3. development goals (MDGs) — poverty, education, gender equality, maternal and child health, and HIV-Aids. When the summit ends, we hope governments will take this information into discussions on what will replace the MDGs when they expire next year, and make sure that ending child marriage is a standalone target in the framework. Ending child atiariiage will not happen overnight, and it will not be easy either. But together, we can do it within a generation.
