Forced marriage is a violation against human rights.
The Effects of Child Marriage
The impact of child marriage on the lives of children is devastating. The health of the child is extremely affected. Not only is their physical health at stake, but so are their psychological, emotional, sexual, and reproductive well-being. In Bangladesh, married girls are expected to become pregnant as soon as possible. This means they have to give birth at a very young age, when they are not physically mature enough. This is a major problem because young women who give birth are at a higher risk, and stillbirths and newborn deaths are very common among young mothers.
