The marriage of a girl child is a violation of her rights and a threat to her ability
to thrive. A married girl is usually not in school. She is vulnerable to early pregnancy,
with its associated health risks.1 She undertakes caring responsibilities that are

most fundamental life choices when and whom to marry. This loss of autonomy can continue
into disempowerment and loss of rights and wellbeing for as long as she lives.
