POINTS
- The mean age at first pregnancy or fatherhood was lower among female (17) than male respondents (20)
- While teenage pregnancy appeared both as a cause and consequence of child marriage, marriage was mostly a common response to pregnancy (out of wedlock). A qualitative study carried out in six districts in Zam
found marriage to be a common response to teenage pregnancyEarly sexual debut, limited knowledge and use of contraception, poverty and limited future perspectives as well as sexual and gender norms were id
as the main causative factors of teenage pregnancy and therefore, child marriage. In many communities, it was the expectation that if a girl becomes pregnant she should marry the father of the child.
- Marriage, in these cases, was meant to protect the honour of the pregnant girl and her family (UNICEF, 2015, in Menon et al. (2018)
- Zambia has a high prevalence of teenage pregnancy

- socio-cultural and religious norms and practices that impede gender equality or encourage early marriage
- the legal age of marriage in Zambia is 21 yo, could be lower to 16 yo with parental consent.

Additional information
- The driving force behind most child marriage is the fear of zinah
- The minimum age for marriage here is not counted in years. People refer to the Muslim concept of akil baligh (mental and physical maturity) as a sign of marriageability
- Child marriage is not necessarily considered bad. On the one hand, there are outcomes that are appreciated by adolescents, such as the preservation of their honour, the right to sexual relationships, and their incre
status as adults, which give them a say in community life. On the other hand, there is regret. Girls are deprived of further education; they miss their old friends and live in social isolation, with heavy domestic work and
responsibility for their husband and children.
