“CHILDREN REPRESENT THE MOST vulnerable members of society with an inadequate legal system offering little or no protection from the abuses they suffer. One such instance of abuse that children, particularly female children suffer is the incidence of child marriages. Child marriage is a result of poverty, gender inequality, lack of protection for females, lack of education and employment opportunities, existence of socio-cultural norms and inadequate marital laws.”
