Child marriage continues to be a prevalent issue in Bangladesh, with one of the highest rates globally. Despite efforts to combat the practice, 59% of women aged 20-24 were married before the age of 18, and 22% were married before 15. The root causes include poverty, limited access to education, gender inequality, social norms, and dowry practices. The consequences for girls are severe, including health risks, limited education, domestic violence, and reduced economic prospects. Boys also face negative impacts. While the legal age of marriage is 18 for females and 21 for males, exceptions are allowed, making enforcement challenging. The government has initiated efforts, such as the National Plan of Action for Children and commitment to the SDGs, but progress remains slow. Various organizations and initiatives aim to raise awareness, engage communities, and provide support services. However, eliminating child marriage requires a comprehensive approach involving multiple stakeholders to address root causes, change social norms, and establish effective support systems for at-risk children.
