Daughters are also getting married in the United States

Unbelievable as it is, the fact that child marriage continues to be a human rights issue all over America. Between 2000 and 2018, nearly 300,000 girls as young as 10 were married to adults. Because, at that time there was no prohibition against the marriage of female children. Unchained at Last, a voluntary organization working to end child marriage in the United States, told the media on August 14 that there was no law against child marriage until 2017.

According to the survey, the highest number of girl-child marriages occurred in Texas at 41,774. 23,588 in California, 17,274 in Florida, 17,403 in Nevada and 12,637 in North Carolina. On the other hand, in the above 17 years, Rhode Island had the lowest number of female child marriages at 171. In several other northeastern states, the incidence of girl-child marriage has always been very low. These include New Hampshire 206, Delaware 219, Vermont 272. The survey also revealed that in the states of Nevada, Idaho, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Oklahoma, the incidence of female child marriage is higher than the rate of male children in the population.

New Hampshire, D.C., Rhode Island and the state of Minnesota have the lowest. In 2018, the United States passed a law against child marriage and set the minimum age for marriage at 18. However, according to the advice of some medical scientists, the minimum age of marriage is 19 years all over America. However, a large part of highly educated youths do not want to get married until they stand on their own feet. According to the above research survey, girl child marriage happened in poor and less educated families in remote areas. The guardians thought that only if they could marry off their daughters to established men, would they be freed from liability. The survey also revealed that 10/12-year-old children are later affected by various complex diseases and many have lost the ability to conceive.
