Child marriage derails a girl’s future and means she has no control over her fertility, thus making the demographic dividend a more distant possibility. Keeping girls in school and supporting them in making healthy decisions about their own lives have been found to be the most important determinants of age at marriage. For example, in India, which has criminalized child marriage, only 11 people were actually convicted of perpetuating child marriage in 2010 (UNFPA, 2013, UNICEF, 2011).
