"UNDER-AGE MATRIMONY - Agony of the Girl Child"

Laws are subject to change or amendment but the primitive nature of man would rather die with errors than allow provision for correction.

Under-age marriage of the female child is a practice in certain parts of the world, recognised (accepted) by some religions, traditions, cultures, or laws. It entails the giving out of an underaged child or minor by her parents with or without her consent into marriage. 

Although there are reported cases of underaged male child matrimony, this text encompasses the travails of the female gender and the negative impact on society. Female child underage marriage has no morally justifiable reason in today's civilized world. The analysis is a non-religious, non-biased, or non-political point of view.
