It is morally wrong for children to marry in the Middle East and Africa. Child brides are vulnerable to exploitation and are often unable to make decisions about their own healthcare and education. Children should not be expected to take on the responsibilities of adulthood before they are ready, as this can lead to poverty, ill-health, malnutrition and lack of autonomy later in life. Early marriage should be discouraged, and alternatives such as access to quality education, protective laws, family planning services and health care should be provided instead.

Additionally, child marriage perpetuates cycles of inequality: Girls who become child brides miss out on essential educational opportunities that would otherwise empower them with economic stability; this leads these women into continued poverty generation after generation.” 

Marriage below the age of 18 also poses significant health risks: due to physical immaturity, girls tend to have younger pregnancies than adulthood bride with a higher likelihood of maternal death if they do manage have children at a young age. Moreover pregnancy coercion contributes significantly towards risky pregnancy termination—leading an estimated 70% of all global maternal mortalities.”

Therefore intervention measures must focus upon prevention: reducing parental pressures put upon girls; ensuring boys grow up with healthy attitudes about womanhood; addressing cultural norms surrounding arranged or coerced marriage—and promoting family planning services especially youth-centric resources—as soon as possible.
