Child marriage is a harmful practice that violates human rights and has devastating consequences for young girls. It robs children of their childhood, forcing them into adult responsibilities before they are physically, emotionally, or mentally prepared. Girls who marry young often face severe health risks, including complications from early pregnancy, which can lead to maternal mortality or lifelong reproductive health issues. Education is another major casualty of child marriage, as many young brides are pulled out of school, limiting their future opportunities and keeping them trapped in cycles of poverty.
