Early Marriage in Nigeria and the Nigerian Senate
Early marriage is defined as marriage under the age of 18, which is against the wishes of the young girl in many cases. This practice is common in many cultures in Nigeria and often leads to girls dropping out of school early. When girls marry and have children at a young age, it is difficult for them to continue their education. Poverty is a major driver of early marriage in Nigeria, as poor families see it as a way to reduce expenses. Marrying young girls off also brings in bride prices that families have come to rely on. Early marriage ultimately harms girls, families, and society by increasing maternal and infant death rates and lowering literacy among females.

In the US, about 1000 teens become pregnant each year resulting in over 500,000 births and 400,000 abortions. Teen mothers are more likely to have children who become teen parents as well.

Abortion should not be done because it can cause physical, emotional, and spiritual consequences for women. Physically, abortion procedures can damage the cervix and cause infections. Emotionally, women may experience feelings of guilt, depression, and post-traumatic stress.

Instead of abortion, women should consider adoption so the child can have a chance at life with someone unable to conceive.
