The Human Rights Committee has joined other rights-monitoring bodies in recommending legal reform to eliminate child marriage. The decline, which has been rapid in some countries, is attributed largely to a decrease in very early arranged marriages (World Health Organization, 201 lb). Still, one girl in 10 has a child before the age of 15 in Bangladesh, Chad, Guinea, Mali, Mozambique and Niger, countries where child marriage is common. In this region, such births are projected to rise slightly through 2030.
