- W4289866330 abstract "Child brides and forced marriages, involving the population aged <18 years, occur across continents, cultures, and religions. Globally, 1 in 5 girls marry before the age of 18, and one-third are under 15 years old. Every day worldwide, 39 000 girls marry before reaching the age of majority, and 12 million girls marry before that age each year.1European Union Parliamentary AssemblyForced marriage in Europe.https://assembly.coe.int/nw/xml/XRef/Xref-XML2HTML-en.asp?fileid=25016&lang=enDate accessed: July 24, 2022Google Scholar Child brides and forced child marriages have devastating effects on emotional and social development.2Shahinian G. United Nations Digital LibraryReport of the special rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery, including its causes and consequences.https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/695923?ln=enDate: 2010Date accessed: July 19, 2022Google Scholar In most cases, girls are deprived of their rights, including education, family life, play, and recreation and are forced to assume adult responsibilities, including forced pregnancy. Childhood denied, along with the severe physical or emotional damage caused by child brides and forced marriages, can have long-term consequences for health, life opportunities, and well-being, endangering their lives, the lives of their children, and the future of their community. Child and forced marriages can be considered a serious form of child abuse and neglect, exposing girls to various forms of physical violence with severe long-term effects. The Working Group on Social Pediatrics of the European Association of Pediatrics, the Union of European National Pediatric Societies and Associations, and the Board of Directors of the Turkish Pediatric Association are working jointly to develop recommendations to counteract child brides and forced marriages and their physical, psychological, and social impacts. The purpose of this commentary is to raise awareness among pediatricians and health professionals3Ferrara P. Corsello G. Quattrocchi E. Dell'Aquila L. Ehrich J.

The authors point out that pediatricians can be influential advocates and play an important role in programs established to monitor and prevent the negative personal and social impacts caused by these practices. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, established in 1990 and ratified by 191 of the 193 member states, defines a child as any human being aged <18 years, unless the law in a particular country provides for the child to attain the age of majority earlier.4United NationsConvention on the Rights of the Child.

Child marriage is considered a form of forced marriage that includes forced brides of any age.7United Nations, Office of the High Commissioner of Human RightsChild and forced marriage, including in humanitarian settings.https://www.ohchr.org/en/women/child-and-forced-marriage-including-humanitarian settingsDate accessed: July 26, 2022Google Scholar Parties who have not personally expressed their full and free consent to the union are vulnerable to domestic violence, sexual abuse, dangerous living conditions, and infectious diseases, including HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.7United Nations, Office of the High Commissioner of Human RightsChild and forced marriage, including in humanitarian settings.https://www.ohchr.org/en/women/child-and-forced-marriage-including-humanitarian settingsDate accessed: July 26, 2022Google Scholar,8Ercan O. Tarcin G. Overview on endocrine disruptors in food and their effects on infant's health.Global Pediatr. 2022; 2: 100019Crossref Google Scholar Child marriage is a complex practice rooted in cultural beliefs and customs, linked to various other structural factors and social determinants that characterize many different countries, including their national legal systems. Since 1948, many international agencies, including the United Nations, have sought to end this culturally archaic practice. As stated in Article 9 of the European Union (EU) Charter of Fundamental Rights, each member state is responsible for legislating the right to marriage and its possible limitations. Article 12 of the European Convention on Human Rights and Article 16 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights guarantee the right to marry only to those considered “of marriageable age,” according to different national laws, while also recommending that the minimum age be set at 18 for both girls and boys, and state that any country that allows any form of child marriage is committing a violation of human rights. Although laying the groundwork for a viable solution to this cultural problem, simply changing the laws in countries that are not aligned with the widely accepted standard age of 18—established by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child to legally identify a child as such—will not end child marriage. It is important to ensure that legislative changes are widely communicated to the population and effectively implemented. In Indonesia, for example, the local parliament has committed to eliminating the practice by 2030, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. In 2019, the parliament raised the minimum legal age of marriage for girls by 3 years to 19, followed by education and implementation programs. Previously, Indonesian girls could marry as young as 16 and men as young as 19. Commitments need to be followed by concrete action, as evidenced by the situation in Indonesia, where the rate of child marriage has begun to decline (albeit slowly at first), by 3.5% from the 14.6% recorded in 2008 to 11.2% in 2018.9UNICEF. Badan Pusat StatistikPrevention of child marriage: acceleration that cannot wait.https://www.unicef.org/indonesia/sites/unicef.org.indonesia/files/2020-06/Prevention-of-Child-Marriage-Report-2020.pdfDate accessed: July 24, 2022Google Scholar However, in many countries there are legal exceptions where parents can ask religious courts or local officials to allow the marriage of girls age <16. South Asia has the highest rates of child marriage in the world, with nearly one-half (45%) of all women between age 20 and 24 marrying before age 18. Nearly 1 in 5 girls are married before age 15.10UNICEF. South AsiaChild marriage.https://www.unicef.org/rosa/what-we-do/child-protection/child-marriageDate accessed: July 24, 2022Google Scholar Underlying this practice are profound differences in legal systems and sociocultural and structural factors.10UNICEF. South AsiaChild marriage.https://www.unicef.org/rosa/what-we-do/child-protection/child-marriageDate accessed: July 24, 2022Google Scholar Although child marriage is particularly prevalent in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, it also occurs throughout Europe as a practice “hidden in plain sight” because national legal systems are insufficient to fully protect children. All European countries are affected by the harmful practices of child marriage and forced marriage, whether forced marriages performed in Europe, forced marriages of European citizens or residents performed elsewhere, or forced marriage of people before arriving in Europe. Several EU member states still allow child marriage. Although some countries, such as The Netherlands, Germany, and Sweden, have declared child marriage illegal, others, such as Austria, Belgium, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom, have laws that allow children under age 18 to marry under certain circumstances, with parental consent11Barr H.

For example, 813 child marriages were reported in Germany from 2017 to 2020.13Zdechovský T. European Union parliamentary question.

A 2021 study reported by the University of Cincinnati Law Review showed that approximately 300 000 minors were legally married between 2000 and 2018.16Wharton B.

Child and forced marriage violate the child's most intimate sphere, causing severe physical and psychological harm and, like child abuse and neglect in US and EU legislation, can be described as the result of an act or omission that causes severe physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse, or exploitation.20United States Code, 2010 edition, Title 42, The Public Health and Welfare, Chapter 67: Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment and Adoption Reform.https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/USCODE-2010-title42/html/USCODE-2010-title42-chap67.htmDate accessed: July 26, 2022Google Scholar, 21Council of the European UnionCouncil conclusions on combating the sexual abuse of children.https://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/ST-12862-2019-INIT/en/pdfDate: October 2019Date accessed: July 26, 2022Google Scholar, 22D'Apolito M.

Nontraditional, religious, cultural, economic, and possibly security considerations may justify a practice that can be considered in many ways a form of slavery. Child brides and forced marriages are complex and persistent phenomena associated with profound global cultural, religious, and economic contexts. Variables, such as the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, can increase their impact on society. UNICEF reports show that the socioeconomic consequences of COVID-19 are pushing many families into poverty, increasing the risk of children being forced into labor and early marriage.23UNICEF10 million additional girls at risk of child marriage due to COVID-19.https://www.unicef.org/press-releases/10-million-additional-girls-risk-child-marriage-due-covid-19Date accessed: July 24, 2022Google Scholar,24Somekh I.
