Child marriage is a legal marriage or informal union where one or both parties are children under the age of 18. While early marriage is far more likely to happen to girls, in some countries, it's not uncommon for boys to also marry before the age of 18. More often than not, a younger girl is married to an older boy or man. 3, record 1, English, - child%20marriage
