Human rights violation in Early childhood marriage Early forced marriage is a human rights violation because it violates essential rights such as health, education, freedom from violence, and self-determination. Children's fundamental rights are violated when they are married off, denying them the ability to make decisions about their lives, education, and reproductive health. Early forced marriage has a tremendous impact on international healthcare. Child brides frequently have adverse health outcomes, such as early and high-risk pregnancies, problems after birth, and limited access to reproductive healthcare services. They are more likely to be victims of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and psychological trauma, all of which harm their physical and emotional well-being (Adeola, 2016). Addressing child marriage is critical to ensuring comprehensive healthcare services and improving women and girls' overall health and rights. Child marriage has far-reaching repercussions. Early marriages cause girls to drop out of school, restricting their educational and economic potential. They are frequently socially isolated, financially dependent, and more vulnerable to poverty (Adeola, 2016). Early pregnancies put the females and their babies at greater risk of problems and death, prolonging a cycle of poor health and poverty. Child marriage is a global ethical concern for reproductive health since it violates reproductive rights and autonomy. It denies girls and women the right to decide about their bodies, including when and whether to have children. It reinforces power inequalities and gender-based violence by marrying girls off to older men, perpetuating gender inequity (Arowolo, 2022). Addressing child marriage necessitates comprehensive measures that stress

human rights, gender equality, and girls and women's access to reproductive health services, education, and economic development. As a result, the UN and other associated organizations have established strategies to combat early child marriage. These efforts to combat child marriage include enacting and enforcing laws showing a minimum marriage age, raising awareness about its harmful consequences, providing education and economic opportunities for girls, promoting gender equality, and strengthening healthcare systems to provide comprehensive reproductive healthcare services (Arowolo, 2022). By treating child marriage as a human right and ethical issue, countries can work toward a future where girls and women can choose their own lives and well- being. References Adeola, R. (2016).
