The problem of child marriage is an issue of violation of the rights of children and women, both from a legal, political, health, and social perspective. This issue involves many scientific disciplines, such as law, medicine, psychology, anthropology, and social affairs. Child marriage contributes to stunting, maternal mortality, and educational problems. Even though there is a legal umbrella, such as laws and international conventions, marriage dispensation is still easy to obtain. Culture, tradition, and religious interpretations also influence this issue.
