When Young Women Get Married حياة اسرية 2024.

On International Women’s Day we put up the post, “9 Facts That Prove Women Are Not Equal To Men,” which highlighted a lot of the information provided by the Clinton Foundation’s: Full Participation Report. We read the comments, and it seems like a lot of you want to know what marrying young has to do with gender inequality.
Here’s the answer:
UNICEF reports that 1 in 4 women worldwide are married before they turn 18. When a woman marries young, the trajectory of her life can be completely interrupted: She’s likely to be less educated, make less money and have children earlier (with more complications and risks) than her peers who marry later on. This is true for women in every country in the world.
Though child marriages are considered a human rights violation, the practice is still widespread in developing nations, often because it’s steeped so deeply in cultural tradition and because the union can be considered a lifeline for a poor family (either through compensation from the groom’s family or the insurance that their daughter is well-settled in the care of another family).
“Later marriage tends to mean richer women, especially among the college educated, even after controlling for other factors,” the study says. “By the time they reach their mid-thirties, there is an $18,152 difference in annual personal income between college-educated women who marry before age twenty and those who wait until thirty or later.”

The study finds that college-educated women who choose to marry later are generally more successful in marriage: they see significantly higher combined household incomes later in life (due to the time and energy put into their careers during their early twenties) and they’re significantly less likely to have their marriages end in divorce.
