Almost 750 million women and girls in the world alive today, get married before their eighteenth birthday. Those who suffer from child marriage often experience early pregnancy which is a key factor in the premature end of education as they need to take care of their children and thus, becoming housewives. As mothers and wives, girls become socially isolated and are at an increased risk for domestic violence.
