<![CDATA[Child marriage or early marriage occurs where one or both partners are under 18 years of age. Early marriage is recognized as a global health problem and is associated with serious negative effects on the well-being and rights of millions of girls. Globally, more than half a billion women and girls get married before their 18th birthday. The purpose of this literature review is to determine the factors behind the decision to marry at an early age. A search engine is used as a tool to search for data. Through this literature review, it was found that post-conflict insecurity, family economic conditions, legal issues, community norms and traditions, level of education and knowledge, peer influence, individual needs, patriarchal ideology and low autonomy in decision making, and religious beliefs can be factors behind making the decision to marry early.]]>
