child marriage is defined as a reunion of a minor girl with an adult or with a minor boy. The word minor represents the children who are all below the age of 18. Do you believe, is this the age to decide about being a wife or about being a husband? Definitely the answer must be a big no.
child marriage robs the childhood from the children. They are the ages in which they can wander around and fly freely like birds. Child marriage affects both the boys and girls. But mostly girls are affected by this. They are not capable of being a wife or being a mother or to handle the family. They are immature.
Child marriages are mostly happening due to the poverty of their family. In most of the cases, brides accept to marry because they are pressured by their family. Child marriage leads to early motherhood. These girls also face problems like domestic violence. This also resist them to go to schools and pursue education. They are unaware of the basic rights that is right to education and many other laws. Because of this she is forced to have sexual intercourse with her elderly husband and forced to have multiple children, despite she is not suitable both physically and mentally. Even boys who are forced into child marriages could face complications in their life, mentally and physically. Child marriage has numerous disadvantages. Children are thrust into a world of responsibility that is far beyond their comprehension. They are stripped of their innocence and are expected to look after a family
I end up saying that, now-a-days child marriage is reduced. But the fact is it will take some years to eradicate the child marriage. We still have many ways to stop this, when it happens in our surroundings. As we already discussed that mostly it is because of poverty. We can convince the parents and take care of their children. Wee should stand hand in hand unitedly to stop these incidents as a neighbor, as a friend, as a peer and as a citizen of the country. Let’s eradicate the child marriage together.
