Abstract
Objective: Early and forced marriages continue
to be a problem in the world and in Turkey. Factors leading to early and forced
marriages and solutions will be evaluated.
Method: International articles, conventions,
and Turkish family data on early and forced marriages will be examined and this
human rights issue, which is stillup to date, will be revealed.
Results: Child marriages under the age of 18
are considered early marriages. The rate of early marriage remains a problem
for girls. When girls get married before the age of 18, they are included in
the names of early bride, married, and child bride. Early marriages are
generally the scope of forced marriages. The countries with the highest early
marriage in the world are Niger 75%, Chad 72%, and Mali 71%. According to the
Turkish Statical Institute Family Survey 2021 report, women were married at an earlier age than
men. While the rate of men who got
married before the age of 18 was 4.4%, the rate of women was 24.2%. While the
rate of men who made their first marriage between the ages of 18-19 was 8.9%,
the rate of women was 23.0%. While the rate of men who made their first
marriage between the ages of 20-24 was 39.6%, the rate of women was 34.6%. The reasons for forced marriage at an
early age are gender inequality, poverty, traditional or religious practices,
non-implementation of laws and regulations, and conflicts, disasters and
emergencies.
Conclusion:
early and forced marriages are a continuing social problem as a human
right. Even the words of child brides are disturbing humanity. Supporting the
education of girls, eliminating poverty and eliminating gender inequality will
contribute to the solution in preventing early and forced marriages.
