Young Marriage -By Nana Zheng

Nowadays, according to marriage law, people are allowed to get married after they are 20 years old in the most of countries and areas.However,there were numerous people getting married earlyer than 20 years old in the past.

In the ancient age in China, women used to be married to men before 16 years old. More than that, some girls and boys get married with  people who are older than them a lot when they are still children.In my opinion, the most significant reason is about culture. Usually, this condition always happened between two families that have totally different financial abilities.On the one hand, a poor young girl is married to a rich old men so that she can reduce the burden on family. On the other hand, a rich young boy married a older women due to the woman not only is regarded as his first wife, but also do be regarded as his baby sister. By the way, the rich men could marry more than one wife legally.

To be estimated by professors,annually, there are around 12 millions underage girls get married  in recent 10 years. To our surprised is, the youngest bride of them is only 5 years old.

Adjani,a 7 years old girl in India,who was married two years ago.In addition,have you ever heard of or read a book named Moi Nojoud, 10 Ans, Divorcee ? It is a real story and talk about a Yemenese girl divorced when she was a second grade class of the primary school. This book has been shocking the whole world.

Fortunately,there are fewer young marriage than before because marriage laws limit the minimum age of marriage. However, young marriage still occur  by covert, especially in some advancing countries.Instead of forcing young girls,most of girls are willing to get married when they are teens.They consider that finding a good person is more important than coming into an excellent college.

In short,I am for marriage if you are 20 or older. I can't accept children get married , and I also don't think teens should allow to get married.To children , it is harmful to their mind and body. As for teens,it is easy to divorce with they becoming more and more mature.
