Hindus often do not choose their own marriage parents, even though there are more love marriages taking place, many Hindus will have an arranged or ‘assisted’ marriage.

According to the World Health Organization child marriage “denies a girl her childhood, disrupts her education, limits her possibilities, and increases her risk of violence and jeopardizes her health” (NCBI, Paragraph 7). Young girls are forced to marry elderly men to help their families pay for basic necessities or pay off a family debt. In many countries, the marriageable age for women is abnormally low due to the fact the government set two different legal ages for men and women; in some countries the legal age of consent for girls is as low as sixteen. The leaders of such countries attempt to justify these legal limits of girls by saying—stating that girls mature faster than boys. However, I believe that girls should be allowed to mature and live with their parents until they are old enough to marry a suitor of their…

Child marriage is defined by the World Health Organization (2005) as the period between 15 and 19 years of age when girls contract a permanent sexual relationship. At a global and national level, there has been growing concern about girl-child marriage age (The Family Life Movement of Zambia, 2006; UNICEF, 2005). This is because girls who marry early are twice as likely to die from childbirth and are more vulnerable to pregnancy-related complications, sexually transmitted diseases, and higher levels of reproductive mortality and morbidity. Despite these, a number of girls get married earlier than expected in Uganda (UNICEF, 2005; World Health Day: Safe Motherhood, 2007), which shows that the problem still looms at large with a mean age of early marriage at 15.5 years (UNICEF, 2005).…
