The concept of girl-child marriage can be simply understood as the act of marrying an underage woman to an older man usually by her parents, and often without taking her volition and consent into consideration. This act of children’s human right violation has led to a number of unpleasant outcomes, with one of them being forced sexual relation and abuse. According to plan-international 15 million girls marry before the age of 18 each year and this is equivalent to one in every two seconds.

Has anyone ever sat down to think what this children actually want? What these girls would have become if they weren't shipped into marriage with men old enough to be their fathers? All of these things are outrightly perverse! A girl bride is often challenged with forced sexual relation as well as exploit from her older partner due to her lack of experience as well as adequate sex education. As a result of this, she is often seen, used and treated as an article of sexual satisfaction. This sexual abuse is sometimes associated with psychological distress and mental health problems that continue into adulthood as experienced in some victims. And truthfully, the society and their parents have a role to play in this. The society is doesn't favour the lower close hence poverty drives most parents to think outrageously and these men who admire young girls old enough to be their children are unbelievable! Who are raising these men?

A girl child isn't allowed to explore, a girl child isn't allowed to go to school. Why? People believe they are sex machines and baby machines but these girls have bright futures ahead of them and can as well be given a chance to explore their opportunities.
