Please no insults here everyone is entitled to his/her opinion. For me I feel this underage marriage problems starts from the grassroot cause if you go to villages once a girl is 15(has started her menstrual cycle) she is ripe for child bearing I think this problem happens mostly in the north and I find it disturbing that it is d wealthy men in our society that practice this. I feel the grassroot should be educated on more about d evils of underage marriage.
In some traditionals once a female child is born she already has a husband is she to get married to nd 1ce she's 12yrs old d man will come up nd pick his bride(the man will be atleast 40-48yrs by then). And also poverty. And I also think men dat molest children be given more punishment than homosexuals becos if you molest a girl while she's young it affects her psychological in the sense dat she won't be able to enjoy s.ex again nd she will have fear nd lack of trust for men. Imagine a matured man rapping a female child of 1yr,3,yrs something a baby of 6months. Let there be hard punishment for men who do these things

Shameful..... Even a day old can be
considered of age if "married"?. The fact is one religion encourages child abuse. This has little if not nothing to do with poverty @op.
