  • Essay / Marriage at a young age - 916

    While the age of marriage is generally increasing, in many countries, particularly among poor, migrant or displaced communities, early marriage – child marriage and d adolescents under the age of eighteen – is still widely practiced. A considerable number of couples marry without any possibility of exercising their right to choose. Some are forced into marriage, others are simply too young to make an informed decision about their partner or the implications of marriage itself. Studies have shown that adolescent married couples are often less advantaged, may come from broken homes, have little education and work, and have low-status jobs compared to those who marry after adolescence. It could be very encouraging if our community banned early marriages, giving young couples the opportunity to develop their relationships. I propose banning early marriages because they bring many flaws to our society and force young couples to face imposing obstacles throughout their life journey. Early marriage has a staggering number of disadvantages and bad repercussions that can be observed in most newlyweds. the life of couples. While most boys have a say in when and whether they marry, as well as what they will do once married, many girls do not have the opportunity to make these decisions. The husbands of young wives are often older men who expect their wives to follow traditions, stay at home and take on household chores and care for the children; or irresponsible and immature young men who consider themselves capable of carrying such a burden. Early marriage involves enormous responsibility on the part of men, particularly in terms of financial support. Reconciling employment and education is not an easy case to deal with. So, early marriage has a high chance of ending...... middle of paper ...... the curve has started to slow down. This can reduce the risk of people realizing later that they didn't really know each other when they got married, as well as the feeling that they have grown apart. Marriage must be a mature and responsible decision; this should be a long-term commitment. People seem to take this commitment too lightly in today's generation, leading to high rates of early marriage. I strongly affirm that early marriage constitutes a violation of the fundamental rights of children and the right to make decisions about their own lives. With the standards established today, marriage comes with many responsibilities; most of them, teenagers are not ready to handle. However, marriage is a question of choice, but wouldn't it be better to wait a few years so as not to regret the consequences and not pay dearly for mistakes?.?
