Paragraph On Child Marriage
Child marriage means a
wedding between a young boy and a young girl before they hit puberty. The girls
of extremely poverty-ridden families in slums of the towns and cities and villages are found to be married before puberty. The parents of their
families cannot afford to send their girls to schools and cannot provide them
with jobs. Thus, situations force the parents to get married. Only poverty
plays a key role here. Child marriage may break down a wife’s health. A young
wife, if she conceives, may suffer from malnutrition and other diseases. In
such a condition of her health, a weak baby is born with different
complications. So, this practice of child marriage should be stopped.
Bangladesh govt. has imposed a ban on marrying a girl before 18 and a boy
before 21. To encourage female education our govt. has already taken some
positive steps, such as giving stipends to girls, recruiting more female
teachers, etc. All this will help stop child marriage.
