Child marriage is such a problem that can pose a threat to the whole society. In most of the cases, girls are victims of child marriage. Due to poverty and illiteracy parents especially in rural areas think economically girls are a burden for the family and to reduce the burden of the family arrange child marriage. As the mental faculties of the children are not mature enough they cannot realize the consequences of child marriage, rely on their parents, family, and other relatives and they think that child marriage will be a benefit for them. Parents inspire early marriage from the fear that the amount of dowry will be high with the age of their daughters.
