5 Reasons Why Child Marriage Is An Outdated Social Custom
Many girls in the developing world, especially in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, are subjected to marriage at a young age. These girls are expected to get married anytime between 10-18 years old in order to lessen their family's economic burden and because cultural or religious beliefs need to be met. However, this often causes them to have health problems, lose a chance at secondary education, and relinquish their independence. Therefore, in modern times, child marriage is a cultural practice that does more harm than good and it needs to be ended for young girls today and the girls of the future.
