1. Poverty Research has shown that child marriage is most common in world poorest countries and is often concentrated among the poorest households within those countries. It is closely linked with poverty and low levels of economic development. In families with limited resources child marriage is often seen as a way to provide their daughters future. Girls who marry young especially because of poverty are more likely to be poor and remain poor. 2. Poor access to sexual reproductive health rights and information Child marriage is primarily driven by inequitable gender norms which deprive girls and young women of their sexual and reproductive rights and, limit their life choices. Teenage pregnancy acts as a driver of child marriage in contexts where pre-marital talk and sexual reproductive health information is a taboo. Child marriage is also a significant contributor to poor sexual and reproductive health outcomes for adolescent girls. 3. Education/poor access to comprehensive sexuality education Child marriage often leads to girls dropping out of school, which limits their ability to complete their education and also limits their access to information and education about SHHR. There is strong evidence demonstrating positive relationship between increased girls’ education and improved sexual and reproductive health outcomes including higher age of marriage, greater contraceptive use and increased use of health services. Comprehensive sexuality education provides girls and boys with accurate information about sexual reproductive health, enabling them to develop the critical life skill needs to make health, safe choices which reduce the risky sexual behaviours that lead to unintended pregnancy and sexual transmitted infections. Comprehensive sexuality education by adolescents in many parts of the country is still considered a taboo and is also scarcely discussed at school.
