Abstract:
The aforementioned goals served as the study's guiding principles: to assess the various causes of early marriages in communities, to identify ways in which gender norms actually impact girl child education, and to identify strategies for ending early marriages in communities. The study's case study of the kimanya sub county was used to examine the relationship between poverty and child marriages among school-going girls. According to the study's findings, 35% of the participants said that teenage pregnancy was their primary reason for getting pregnant young. A small number of respondents told the investigator that poverty and a lack of opportunity were additional causes of early marriage in secondary schools. Notwithstanding, 14% of the survey participants told the research scientist that ancient traditions were additionally among the factors that led to early marriages; 8% argued that displacement also contributed to early marriages; 6% mentioned their level of education; and 3% said peer pressure was a significant factor in the marrying young of girl students in Kimanya Sub County. Also, the researcher advised parents to always send their kids back to school anytime they enter into young marriages.
