Displacement camps... a hotspot for the spread of early marriage

Almushahid 5 Sep 2024 Arabic

Early marriage is widespread in displacement camps in Marib, where girls face severe health, psychological, and educational challenges. Economic hardship, insecurity, and entrenched traditions drive families to marry off daughters early, depriving them of schooling and exposing them to life-threatening pregnancy complications. Experts highlight the emotional trauma, social instability, and long-term health risks young brides experience, while legal frameworks in Yemen fail to protect children due to laws permitting marriage under 15. Advocacy efforts continue to raise the legal marriage age to 18, amid data from international organizations showing high rates of early marriage, maternal mortality, and gender-based violence across Yemen.
