    b). Sinclair remarks that because education was typically limited in these areas, there was often “nothing to do besides getting married” (National Geographic, 2011). This has never been an issue that I have had to deal with because I have always lived in cities, and there was an abundance of opportunities available besides getting married. Thus, I came to understand why parents continue to practice child marriage in these areas. It often simply came down to its existence as a long standing tradition, and additionally, such environments were conducive of insecure conditions that it made it seem like the best available option for these young girls…

    According to the World Health Organization child marriage “denies a girl her childhood, disrupts her education, limits her possibilities, and increases her risk of violence and jeopardizes her health” (NCBI, Paragraph 7). Young girls are forced to marry elderly men to help their families pay for basic necessities or pay off a family debt. In many countries, the marriageable age for women is abnormally low due to the fact the government set two different legal ages for men and women; in some countries the legal age of consent for girls is as low as sixteen. The leaders of such countries attempt to justify these legal limits of girls by saying—stating that girls mature faster than boys. However, I believe that girls should be allowed to mature and live with their parents until they are old enough to marry a suitor of their…
