    Marriage is a big concern in Ivory Coast because they're usually arranged between girls as young as 14 and men that can be up to twice their age. Communities support arranged marriages at such a young age saying how it protects the girls morality. Early marriage is still very high with 9.8% of all children being married by 15, though there are laws against it.
