2nd here you are some ideas:

HOW BIG IS THE PROBLEM?
It is difficult to define exactly how many girls marry too young. The problem is created in part by the lack of a universally accepted definition for age of marriage. The bigger problem, however, is that many marriages are not registered or counted in any standard national data collection system. The available data suggests that early marriage is most common in Sub-Saharan Africa and in South Asia. In Niger, for example, 70% of girls between 15 and 19 years of age are married, compared with 4% of boys. The practice is evident throughout the globe, however. According to UNICEF, It is important to note that early marriage, and early childbearing, have been more or less abandoned by the wealthiest sections of society, even in poor and highly traditional countries. Virtually everywhere, poor women in rural areas tend to marry younger than those in urban areas, and educational levels also play a critical role. [UNICEF, Innocenti Digest " Early Marriage, Child Spouses " (March 2001) at page 5]
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF EARLY MARRIAGE?
The causes of early marriage vary from culture to culture but some are common among all cultures.
" Poverty: early marriage is sometimes viewed as a means of economic survival. If girls are married early, then the family has one less mouth to feed, and the hope is that the girl herself will be better off.
" Social unrest or civil strife: in countries experiencing war or other types of severe social stresses, violations of children's rights often increase. Child labour, child prostitution, high levels of neglect and abandonment and a rise in early marriage are often signs of underlying social traumas.
" Desire to protect the girl: in societies where virginity is valued, early marriage is seen as a way of protecting girls from unsanctioned pre-marital ***.
" Laws: in some countries, the age of marriage for boys is higher than for girls. This contributes to the belief that it is acceptable for girls to marry at an early age.
" Threats to cultural survival: in societies facing war or some other form of trauma or risk, marrying a girl to someone within the same culture is seen as a way of promoting the culture by ensuring that the children will be born and raised in a culturally safe environment.
WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OR RESULTS OF EARLY MARRIAGE?
There tends to be a relationship between age of marriage, level of education, poverty, and health: poorer, less educated girls tend to marry earlier and tend also to have poorer health. The following consequences tend to flow from early marriage: ? Poor health including poor reproductive health: girls who marry young are at risk of earlier exposure to risk of ***ually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS. They also risk diseases such as vesico-vaginal fistulae (VVF) or leakages from the bladder into the vagina caused by the birthing process.
" High maternal mortality rates: young women who give birth between 15 and 19 years of age are twice as likely to die in childbirth than women who are over 20 years of age. Early marriage also tends to mean increased pregnancies which further increases the chance of death.
" Greater risk of domestic violence: young girls are often married to men who are much older than themselves. The age difference tends to reinforce the powerlessness of the girl, who is thus at greater risk of abuse and less likely to assert herself.
" Lower education and work skills: girls who marry young tend to drop out of school and are more likely to bear children during adolescence, thus effectively ensuring that they will not return to school or develop other work skills.
" Divorce or abandonment: some desperate girls and women who have been forced into marriage try to run away or take other avenues to leave their spouses, others are abandoned by their spouses. Usually, however, the girls and women are left with the responsibility of raising children without the husband or family's financial support, thus making them more likely to live in poverty.
" Reinforced gender stereotypes and roles: the lack of other opportunities and the powerlessness that often accompanies early marriage combine to perpetuate the gender roles of girls and women and reinforces cultural traditions that support early marriage as a desirable practice.
" Psychological disadvantage: girls who are forced to marry early often face social isolation and have no one with whom to discuss their unhappy lot.
" Widowhood: where a young girl is married to an older man, the chances of becoming a widow at a young age increase. This often carries with it a low social status and inability to inherit property.
" A cycle of poverty and abuse: children of young and illiterate mothers tend to face the same cycle of deprivation and abuse experienced by their mothers.
