There are physical, mental, and social problems that occur. One of the major physical problems is that of teenage pregnancy and childbirth. Girls who give birth at a young age are more likely to be injured in the process and suffer medical complications or death. Mental problems may be caused by physical and emotional abuse at the hands of the husband or his family, which is common. One of the most serious social problems is that children who get married are taken out of school and are expected to care for the household, instead of getting a secondary education. Without an adequate education, their opportunities are limited for the rest of their lives.<\/span><span style=\"font-size:12pt;font-family:'MS Gothic';color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline\">\u2028<\/span><span style=\"font-size:12pt;font-family:AppleSystemUIFont;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline\">Full APA bibliographic entry: <\/span><span style=\"font-size:12pt;font-family:'MS Gothic';color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline\">\u2028<\/span><span style=\"font-size:12pt;font-family:AppleSystemUIFont;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline\">Mark day of girl by fighting child marriage.
