Child marriages have a negative impact on the development of the girl child and also on the nation as a whole, lets all rally and advocate for the legislation to protect our girls against early and forced marriage, we can never justify the marriage of a child under any circumstance. The Law must protect our children and it must guarantee their development, no exceptions. https://www.newsday.co.zw/2015/06/19/to-end-child-marriage-is-to-break-cycle-of-poverty/

Celebral palsy Epilepsy Congenital heart defects Congenital anemia High infant mortality rates High maternal death rates High rates of abuse Just a short list of examples of complications resulting from child marriages coz children are more prone to such than adults. They are children for crying out loud. #notochikdmarriages&regressivelegislation

No to child marriage as it destroys a girl's future and exposes her to emotional, physical and sexual abuse and also mental health problems

During adolescence, girls should be in school, learning and developing with their peers. Instead, many are forced to marry and bear children, which leads to increased social isolation, limited access to opportunities, intimate partner violence and psychological stress. A big NOOOOOOOOOOO to child marriages

Child marriage deprives a child the enjoying of childhood as well as a balanced psychological, emotional and social process of maturity. Global commitment ought to be put to stop the crime.

I plead to the High Court as a Upper guardian of all children to withdrawn this ill-treatment and unjust law against children as void and invalid because it derails them from reaching their desired destination and development.

Child marriages prevent young women to realiose their fukllest potential, socially, economically and more wise politically. Let them get ripe. Give them access to education, health services and not Husbands. #endchildmarriage.
