Impacts of poverty and education on the prevalence of girl child marriage in India, and early marriage implications

Marriage is a religious tradition all over the globe, but the bride and groom must be mentally and physically engaged with each other, so they must promise to spend the rest of their lives together. As a result, there must be some age limit for the minimum marriage age. Early marriage, also known as child marriage, is a social blight, and many organizations, as well as government bodies, are working hard to prevent child marriage and persuade families to delay child marriage for their daughters and sons until they reach the ages of 18 and 21, respectively. The purpose of this article is to determine the effects of early marriage on girls, as well as the causes of child marriage and what can be done to avoid child marriage. The paper's conclusion is that education is a method to raise awareness regarding child marriage and, second, to make individuals economically independent by allowing them to make their own decisions.
