Marrying at the very early age is a serious violation of human rights
accorded to women by CEDAW. Such initiative including other challenges
posed by early marriage, it also contributes to mortality. Community and
parents have direct involvement in early marriage which influences the
education and economic status of girls and women. This study focuses on
consequences of marriage at the very early age. The study used both
primary and secondary data. Primary data was collected through survey

community and parents on practice of early marriage. Furthermore there
is no legislation to prevent or discourage the repugnant traditional and
cultural practice. As per findings, the study recommends legal policy
framework through advocacy and registration of marriage with
