Child marriage occurs when a girl or boy under the age of 18 marries and lives with her spouse. Child marriage affects both girls and boys, but mostly females. For example, in certain cases, mothers are reluctant to work because they fear that their children may stay unmarried as adults. Unhappiness with the girl's health, resulting in an extended time of fertility, leads to early pregnancy. This severe impact causes infant and mother death. Other methods of child marriage include expulsion from school and discouragement from further study. Some parents utilized child marriage to protect their children from possible personal connections and, more crucially, pre-marital sexual activity. They need to avoid illegitimate pregnancies that may arise from this kind of relationship. Despite numerous international and national agreements, child marriage affects millions of minors worldwide. Child marriage hinders females from getting an education, connecting with others their age, growing, and ultimately selecting life mates. Educate communities, involve local and religious leaders, raise awareness, and encourage females to offer education and employment. The most effective ways to combat child marriage are to require girls to stay in school and finish their higher education. This study examines child marriage prevention initiatives in depth and offers alternatives to child marriage. In the future, the awareness among the public about the consequences of the child marriage can help to decrease the cases for the same significantly.
