    Child marriage is a significant problem in Bangladesh, with 66% of girls married before 18, which is the fourth highest rate in the world. Poverty is a major contributing factor, as 80% of child marriages occur in poor families. Marrying girls off at a young age often interrupts their education and negatively impacts their health, as 20% of girls become mothers before age 15. Addressing this issue requires efforts such as improving access to education, empowering females, enforcing legal marriage ages more strictly, reducing poverty, and changing cultural perceptions in both rural and poor communities.
