Nkalo and other may be it is indeed reducing child marriage we should be talking about. But is it good to stop the natural when we are not nvesting enough opportunities for the young adults to complete education and vocational training? What will keep them busy and away from starting families? Especially for girls, parent agree to marry them off quickly when they are not i school as one way of reducing their own responsibility over children. There also men who like young wives.

No end to child marriage without an end to poverty. People marry young becoz they drop out of school young. People drop out of school young becoz they have no food and no clothes.

Policies have to be developed with real known technicians in this field if we are to… Read more »

marriage is a social issue. Biologically, mature children (both boys and girls) are ready for the reproductive function. at that stage they have naturally graduated from the young to the adults. Humans, in their interference with nature, have precluded essential reproductive health education from their offs-prings and trekked on the scheme of delaying procreation among them. it is good for some societies, as the delay is enforced to allow the young people to complete and education and vocational training. It is best to ensure the young people can fend for their families before they are let loose to found families.… Read more »
