Forced marriages deny girls their rights too
Consequences of early or forced marriages are commonly known. Early marriage leads to teenage pregnancy. When a child is born without the being properly nourished and with physical deformities, it makes a young girl not only a burden to her family but also a burden to the society and the country.
Forced marriage can be considered as a pathway towards helplessness and the powerlessness of a girl. It can destroy the future of a gifted young girl; it will make her dependent upon someone or feel controlled by someone. It can eventually lead to physical and mental torture.
A gifted young girl has all the reasons to go to school, receive education and the equal opportunity like her male counterpart. He has every other reason to uplift her situation and come out of poverty cycle by improving her life.
