‘Child Marriage Harms’ presents a compelling examination of one of today’s most pressing human rights issues: the global practice of underage marriage and its devastating impact on millions of young lives. The book masterfully weaves together comprehensive research, demographic data, and personal narratives to demonstrate how this practice intersects with cultural traditions, economic pressures, and legal frameworks worldwide.
Through extensive field research across multiple continents, it reveals shocking statistics while humanizing the issue through individual stories of those affected by early marriage. The book progresses systematically through three main sections, beginning with a global context and historical perspective, moving into detailed regional case studies, and concluding with practical intervention strategies.
It presents compelling evidence showing how child marriage perpetuates cycles of poverty, limits educational opportunities, and leads to severe health complications, particularly for young girls. The research draws from multiple disciplines, including public health studies, economic research, and human rights reports, creating a holistic understanding of the issue’s complexity.
What sets this work apart is its balanced approach to addressing culturally sensitive issues while maintaining a firm stance against harmful practices. While acknowledging various cultural perspectives, the book argues that child marriage represents a fundamental human rights violation that demands immediate action. It provides practical frameworks for intervention and policy recommendations, making it an invaluable resource for policymakers, social workers, and human rights advocates working to end this practice.
The author’s clear, empirical writing style ensures accessibility while maintaining scholarly rigor, making complex information digestible for both professionals and general readers interested in social justice.
