Nepal failing to curb child marriage: HRW
KATHMANDU: Nepal is **t doing e**ugh to end child marriage, with more than one in three girls married before they reach the age of 18, Human Rights Watch said on Thursday.
Child marriage is illegal in Nepal, but the law is rarely enforced and a government pledge to end the practice by 2020 was recently delayed to 2030. "Many children in Nepal -- both girls and boys -- are seeing their futures stolen from them by child marriage," said senior women’s rights researcher Heather Barr in a statement from HRW. "Nepal’s government promises reform, but in towns and villages across the country, **thing has changed." HRW said 37 percent of girls and around 11 percent of boys in Nepal were under 18 when they married. The legal marriage age is 20. Many are forced to marry, but HRW’s research also found a rise in voluntary child marriage to escape abuse or poverty, or because they wanted to choose their own partner. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Nepal failing to curb child marriage: HRW || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
