Being forced to live with a person you barely know for the rest of your life, with no way out is totally horrifying. According to stats in Pakistan 20 percent of women are married before the age of 18, and most of these marriages are forced. To many it may seem like a high profile social issue, but if you think about it on a personal level you will realize that it is simply cruel. Forcing a child in a marriage, whose happiness is in playing freely and living peacefully with their parents, is no way fair. They barely know the meaning of marriage.
In Some countries, early, arranged or force marriage is legal and part of their culture and tradition. While in many countries, this is taboo. Even if we say that we are against this kind of act, we cannot control it because it is part of their culture. Personally, I am also against this early marriage because their just after the sexual intercourse with a very young girl...

I agree that child marriages is cruel and stupid thing. Even if a person isn't a child, any kind of forcing someone to marry is an act of violence.
The taboo of child marriages is a sinful act by those who practice it due to the fact that most adults who practice such grew up to become adults before they chose who they want to marry . Lets come to think of it, if the practice that we really heard was practiced and a child is to be given to another child, both parents in consent allow such a child to grow up, attain the educational carrier, or if it is professional both children acquire it. From experience such children even grow up rejecting the agreement of their parents,and when forced into it it may later lead to divorce. When a child is giving out in early marriages, it psychologically affects the child, Physically, Socially,Emotionally, and heath wise. The child cannot take good care good care of themselves and still need the training and direction of their parents. So why the early marriage, health wise the child's health may become compromised. a child need to grow up to adulthood to be able to make decision for themselves and not to be forced into early Child's marriage which God is against.
Child marriage should be condenmed in its totality, because it does the people a lot more harm than good. the person is not ready physically, emotionally, psychologically, financially...all round not ready.
Child marriages isn´t somethihng new in the world, this pratices is still in some cultures and well one have to respect them.
Yes, child marriage is not new thing, and still exists in some cultures, but they definitely don't deserve respect as this age is not a proper age to have children medically and as they too are child only, among other reasons
Forced marriage in any age should be criminalized and the abusers should be punished.
But the brutal Muslim society won't consider women an equal human unless forced in some ways.

This has 2 issues in it, a child getting married and force marriages. I know of people that married young (but not below 18) and are living the happiest of marriage. I've also known a couple who saw each other for the first time on their wedding ceremony, they also have the happiest of marriages. What they both lack is being forced. No one should be forced to do something, even if that something is for the good of all. Forcing something especially marriage breeds resentment

it's stupid, I think early marriage is meaningless. they are still quite children, that they can give to their children, they can not even earn good money since they will not be taken to work) They just ruin their children's lives, there is nothing more to say ((
getting married is the right of everyone, underage or not it's a matter of each.
but in my country, early marriage is banned and considered taboo, marriage must be at least 17 years of age, except for incidents that require marriage

I do not see a single plus. I do not understand why young people, whose views and convictions have not yet formed, may want to take such a big and complex decision for life.
It worked during the Edwardian Era. Why? They were rich. This isn't the classics, this is 2017!
Forced marriage in any age is cruel, but forced child marriage is unacceptable!
Okay, I can imagine these men who organize the marriage have no clue about a girl's organism. But there are educated people in our civilized world! They should propagandize healthy relationships that face no danger for mental or physical health of young people!

Child marriage is a human rights violation in all aspects. Yes it is. It is an act of endangering their personal development and well being. Also in child marriage they are deprived of their fundamental rights to health, education and safety. But in most Arab countries its just normal. It's in their culture. They practise it almost everyday. What can we do about it? Big question.
Ending child marriage requires hard work from all sectors in the society.

It is unconscionable and violates the child's right to self-development ... such a feeling that marriage for them is the life ceiling 
If grown up very often mistaken when choosing a partner when they voluntarily enter into marriage, then children, especially, should not be allowed to marry before 21 years. It destroys the human psyche and such a family will not be happy.
It's really hard to force these isolated or old communities to stop their rituals. They are always close-minded people. Sometimes the reason is religion.
I think child marriage is illegal thing. Child marriage and teenage pregnancy often mean that girls no longer attend school. In addition, the girls suffer mentally and physically in the marriage. Many girls suffer from depression and post-traumatic stress. Pregnancy for girls in East African countries is a major cause of death because their bodies are still growing and are not yet ready to have a baby. Additionally they also run a high risk of being infected with HIV. Because in many countries it is still a big taboo to talk about these subjects, girls often do not seek help. we are helpless in there.
By all means, child marriages are wrong. But to discuss it, one should define the child's age. How old should a person be to be considered an adult?
Children's marriages are violence against the child's unformed psyche. A child at this age must still learn and enjoy life, and not start an adult life. In general, many need to marry no earlier than 30 years, not 12-14.
